Langlois Bridge

Langlois Bridge was a drawbridge in Arles, France, which was the subject of a few artistic creations by Vincent van Gogh in 1888. Being one of eleven drawbridges worked by a Dutch designer along the channel from Arles to Port-de-Bouc, this extension may have helped the craftsman to remember his country. New channels were opened up in southern France as they were expected to extend the system of waterways. In the nineteenth century a trench was worked from Arles to Bouc, situated on the Mediterranean ocean. Bolts and extensions were assembled, as well, to oversee water and street traffic.

Simply outside Arles, the main scaffold was the formally titled "Pont de Reginelle" yet better referred to by the attendant's name as "Pont de Langlois". In 1930, the first drawbridge was supplanted by a fortified solid structure which, in 1944, was exploded by the withdrawing Germans who wrecked the various extensions along the waterway aside from the one at Fos. The Fos Bridge was disassembled in 1959 with the end goal of migrating it on the site of the Langlois Bridge yet because of basic challenges, it was at long last reassembled at Montcalde Lock a few kilometers from the first site.
