This is a way to manipulate history, this replica named after the employee responsible for keeping it and manipulating it, the "Langlois bridge" acquired world renown thanks to the representations that Van Gogh made it at the end of the 19th century.

But this bridge that can be seen nowadays a few kilometers south of the city center, on the Arles channel in Bouc, is not the one painted by the artist and it is not at its initial location either.

The progress of techniques, the evolution of town planning and the vagaries of war have made us only see an identical copy, formerly installed in Fos.

However, the desire to evoke the painter, as well as to restore an old technique, made it possible to place the work in its functional integrity, and in a landscape framework close to that seen...

Attention arnaque ! Lol. Ce pont van Gogh n'a jamais été peint par van Gogh et il ne se trouve pas à l'emplacement du pont représenté par le célèbre peintre, bien plus proche d'Arles que le pont actuel ( à l'emplacement aujourd'hui du pont dit de Reginelle) Il s'agit en fait d'une restitution aux allures de reconstitution. Ce pont basculant à double levis, très beau et bien conservé, est le seul de la série des 11 construits sur le canal entre 1830 et 1840 ( le pont que l'on peut voir date de 1837) à ne pas avoir été détruits par les Allemands en 1944, tout comme le fameux pont ferroviaire dit le pont aux lions dont seules les statues en gardent toujours le souvenir et la mémoire. Le pont peint par van Gogh fut détruit en 1926 pour être remplacé par un ouvrage en béton. C'est un ingénieur hollandais qui les conçus et van Gogh en a peint un parce qu'il lui rappelait son pays d'origine - mais avec les couleurs du sud. On peut s'y rendre en voiture (petit parking), en vélo ( piste cyclable sur une très courte distance puis route départementale) ou a pied soit par la route des cyclistes ( 3km - itinéraire Google) soit par le chemin de carnage que l'on prend à côté du musée archéologique, et qui longe un canal. Il faut suivre tout droit puis tourner à gauche en prenant la rue de Maillanen, toujours tout droit jusqu'au pont. C'est plus long ( 5km) mais beaucoup plus bucolique et plus calme que celui qui passe par les grandes routes. Si vous avez le temps, continuez le chemin qui passe devant le pont pour découvrir un autre bras de rivière avec une petite chute d'eau. Belle atmosphère. Il est vrai que l'endroit mériterait d'être mieux mis en valeur. La maison en ruines qui se trouve à côté est taguée. Elle pourrait héberger un bar éphémère pendant les vacances. A noter enfin que van Gogh a appelé son tableau le pont anglais. En fait il s'agissait du pont de Langlois, du nom de l'éclusier qui l'ouvrait ou qui le refermait....

It is the original place painted by Vincent Van Gogh. You can follow His traces all over Region, as you can find notice board s at many places he painted. So also in Tarascon, arrival of Stage Coach (Just at Theater at Southern Gate) or at Yellow House at Northern edge of Arles old City

Well preserved, and well sign-posted, either by road and by ViaRhona bicycle Route. Also access by 3 Bus lines, I Just got No. 6 and 10.

There is a beaufiful Graffiti Just near the Bridge. I added the Photo, as real fine Graffiti Art should...
