Illustrative image: Saint-Martory is a commune in south-western France, on the River Garonne, and has been inhabited since pre-historic times. Here we see part of the three-arched bridge into the town, which was built in 1724-1727 with a large fortified gate to protect the town from invaders. Today it's a nice town to visit which also has an interesting church and castle. The town is not far from the Pyrenees mountains and the river sometimes carries floodwaters - as evidenced in the buildup of debris in the water. — Mike McBey/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0
