Pont Vieux Carcassonne
$22.00
Twelve stone arches across the River Aude, finished sometime around 1320, one of the few medieval bridges still standing in France. For five hundred years it was the only crossing between Carcassonne's lower town and the walled citadel above. The bridge belongs to walkers now. Either direction holds a long view: the Cité gathering on the far bank, the Bastide laid out behind. The light worth the trip is the forty minutes before sunset, when the gold rises up the walls and the river runs cold underneath.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
