A deceased best dress was to be given to the hospital that had funded the bridge as a support for its maintenance. Also, those condemned to death/drown were simply thrown into the water from there. All way gloomier than the Monty Python's Bridge of Death I know. The current bridge was redesigned in the mid 19th century. Thanks again Et vive Brassens! Philippe Philippe, Simply MAGNIFIQUE! Any reason for the name "Le Ponts des Morts"?
