The remains of the Souleuvre Viaduct are located in the municipality of La Ferrière-Harang, in the Calvados department of Lower Normandy.
History

The viaduct was built between 1887 and 1893 and connected Caen via Saint-Lôcirc; with Vire and Granville.

Before the Second World War, up to 15 trains crossed the bridge daily. During the war, it was also used by the Germans and was therefore the target of several Allied bombing raids from 1944 onwards. A total of around 500 bombs were dropped on the target, most of which missed. Only minor damage occurred to the steel girders. In August 1944, the viaduct was repaired by the Americans. In October 1960, rail traffic on this line was discontinued. On June 13, 1970, for safety reasons, the steel superstructures, which were in poor condition, were demolished by explosives. Repair was considered too expensive at the time. Only the five stone piers remained. Technical Data The bridge's superstructure was a riveted steel construction consisting of simple truss girders with a roadway below, resting on masonry piers. The structure was 364.2 m long and 62.5 m high. The six truss girders rested on a total of five piers ranging in height from 26 m to 60 m. A total of 14,000 m³ of granite blocks from quarries in the Vire region were used in the piers. The sand for the mortar came from the Chausey Islands. Significance Today In 1990, a platform was built on the second pier from the north, from which bungee jumping is offered. The concept originated with one of the pioneers of bungee jumping, A. J. Hackett. This platform is accessible via a 140 m long suspension bridge. The platform is 61 m above the Souleuvre.

In 1999, "Scable," a 400 m long cable car (also known as a zipline or flying fox), was opened. It runs across the Souleuvre valley.

In 2007, the "Swing," a pendulum-like flying facility that moves like a swing, was opened. Suspended from the third pylon from the north, it is possible to fly towards the ground in a pendulum motion from the second pylon.
