Arch of the Grand Site de l'Estuaire de la Charente - Arsenal de Rochefort, the Pont Transbordeur, built in 1900 by Ferdinand Arnodin, is a masterpiece of metal architecture and the last structure of its type in France. Set between natural and urban spaces, the Pont Transbordeur is a landmark on the Rochefort Océan territory, symbolizing the entrance to the port of Rochefort on the land side and the opening to the world on the sea side.

On the other side of the bridge, before returning to Rochefort, enter the Maison du Transbordeur. In a fun, digital space, you'll discover the secrets of the ferry and the fascinating story of its inventor, Ferdinand Arnodin. You'll also discover the highlights of the Transbordeur Bridge renovation project.
