Notes:

• Destroyed by flood, 1866.
• Replaced by 1871 Coubon - Coubon and Volhac, Haute-Loire, France.

Notes:

• 1866: A flood causes a major change in the course of the Allier River such that the main channel no longer flows under the bridge. The bridge, however, is not destroyed. A new suspension bridge is built in the 1880s over the main channel of the Allier just slightly east of the older bridge.
• All three pairs of pylons were still standing in the 2010s.
• Similar to 1833 Cosne-sur-Loire - Cosne-sur-Loire, Nièvre and Boulleret, Cher, France in appearance of towers.

Notes:

• Next to 1834 Lamothe - Lamothe and Brioude, Haute-Loire, France. In 1866, a flood caused a major change in the course of the Allier River such that the main channel no longer flowed under the older bridge. The newer bridge crossed the main channel of the Allier just slightly east of the older bridge.

Notes:

• Approaches, abutments, piers, and pylons still in existence, 2018, but the original deck and cables are completely gone. A newer pedestrian suspension bridge is effectively sitting on the original bridge's piers between the original pylons.

Notes:

• AAJ supposes this bridge was completed in 1841 based a contract let in early 1839 for a two-year construction duration. Other sources suggest 1838 or 1839, but appear to be based on the contract date and not the completion of construction.
• Destroyed by flood, 1846.
• Replaced by 1850 Retournac - Retournac, Haute-Loire, France.
