Best Gothic Bridge Ever, So Far

So next day we are en route to Langeais and the chateau there, when we approach the River and see what has to be the best Gothic bridge ever, so far.
On the bridge; we crossed and parked so I could walk back
and study this thing

En route to the bridge, I am passed by the Tour de Jour
(Sunday; Dimanche)

Thus

Down, off the levee, the bridge comes into view

I notice the stairs up the levee are actually a measuring
stick for flood, or inundation...

Six meters above flood would not be good

Anyhow, the bridge, nice towers, pointed arches

The vaulting may be more recent, however
