General view

The feeling for grand scale is seen clearly in the bridge and gallery which Brullant built for Montmorency at F�re-en-Tardenois. Bullant has here taken advantage of an unusual site skillfully. The deep valley is spanned by a row of simple monumental arches of enormous height, over which runs a double gallery. The ornament is limited to flat mouldings and to slight rustication on the voussoirs. The whole effect is of a Roman aqueduct thrown across a gorge.
