Association Memory Salles sur Verdon "published in August 2010 a special issue of its newsletter devoted to the LIVING MEMORY Garuby bridges. The following articles (and photos) were prepared from this publication that we can be obtained from the association:
Ass.Mémoire Salles sur Verdon Place Sainte Anne 83630 Les Salles sur Verdon

When the bridge no one had to cross the Verdon when it was possible to ford.
The award for building the first bridge Garuby
is dated July 21, 1886.
It consists of four arches. The floor was provided for the passage of a cart, surrounded by two metal railings and sidewalks. Made of stone, majestic, it has no metal structures or reinforced concrete.
In July 1944 an explosive charge by guerrillas destroyed an ark. Weakened it becomes unstable, the Middle Pillar collapses and causes the destruction of the apron side Var. He lived nearly half a century and will not be rehabilitated.
Note that although this bridge near the old village of Salles sur Verdon
was built on land the town of Bauduen.
