A cyclist takes a photo of one of the last surviving bridges, that survived World War 11, Pont Pruniers ( Pruniers Bridge) on the River Bouchemaine near Angers in Val de Loire ( Loire valley) in France. Nearing the end of WW11, the retreating German army missed destroying this important bridge, thus allowing General George Patton's US army to cross it.
