Crossing the Flooded Loire – Pont de Fil in Tours, France
Crossing Pont de Fil in Tours, France, as the Loire River rises during a rainy spring. This cinematic walk captures the high waters of the Loire from the Saint-Symphorien footbridge, with views of the river and surrounding bridges.
Located in Tours, the Pont de Fil, also known as the Saint-Symphorien Footbridge, is reserved for pedestrians, cyclists, and light mobility, offering a unique and peaceful way to cross the Loire.
Filmed during a period of unusually high water, this walk reveals a different side of the river, shaped by a very rainy season. From the bridge, enjoy wide views over the Loire and discover other crossings that connect the city.
This film is part of a series exploring Tours, following previous walks through the Jardin des Prébendes d’Oé and the Saint-Gatien Cathedral.
Relax, enjoy the natural sounds, and experience the atmosphere of the Loire in spring.

Which city's bridges should I explore next?
C'est vrai que la Loire a un côté hypnotisant , et la voir avec un niveau si haut, c'est quand-même quelque chose. On ressent bien sa puissance, dans ta vidéo. Une très belle promenade, aussi. 🌿🌿🌿👍
