Pont Joly offers an overall view of the small medieval city of Semur-en-Auxois. It spans the Armançon at the foot of the keep which once controlled the narrow isthmus linking the pink cliff, where the city was founded, to the granite plateau on which it later spread. In the foreground, the view encompasses the valley. From left to right, there are delightful gardens, rocks, parks and small waterfalls.
