The lowest bridge on the entire French canal system. Boat owners whose craft's height exceeds the limit have been known to invite passers-by to join them on deck to help lower the boat enough to pass under the bridge. Conveniently, there's a superb little canal-side restaurant at the north end of the bridge where passengers can take on extra weight;-)
