Sète,  France,  August 2016

In Sète, the Pont de la Gare was undergoing major renovation work this summer.  A floating pontoon was positioned close to the main bridge, provided a bouncy walk on thick plastic-looking tiles.

Sète is the Venice of the Langedoc Roussillon area of France, and has a number of bridges, that open at fixed times to allow boats in and out.  This floating bridge, was no exception.
