Pont Napoléon
A single-arch stone bridge ordered by Napoleon III, spanning a gorge about 90 metres deep. Bungee jumping is offered from the bridge in summer.
Pont Napoléon was built in the 1860s on the south side of Luz-Saint-Sauveur. Its single stone arch spans the deep gorge of the Gave de Gavarnie, with the deck about 90 metres above the valley floor. It is a classic stop on the way to Gavarnie, and bungee jumping is offered from the bridge in summer. There are views of the town and valley nearby. Admission is free.
