SUR LA PONT


by ancient hands wrought

Roads have seduced travelers for eons. The architecture of roadways, bridges and tunnels is truly a wonderment.

Romans may have perfected the Art of the Bridge, but Greeks perfected the notion of paved highways between centers of commerce and learning.

The Pont du Garde, in Nimes, France, shows the beauty of the Roman arch. Simply elegant --marvelously balanced.
