Avignon France Tourist Information and Vacation Guide
The world-famous bridge in Avignon France is officially called “Pont
St. Benezet”. It is the subject of a very famous song that
is known by children around the world entitled: “Sur
le Pont d’Avignon“.
The bridge, built in the 12th century, once spanned the beautiful
Rhone River. Much of it was washed away by flooding over the centuries,
however, four of the original 22 arches still remain.
Visitors to Avignon France can either enjoy a relaxing walk along
the Rhone river and magnificent views of the bridge from various angles.
Alternatively, one can pay a small fee (4.50 euro) to walk (or dance)
on the famous bridge.
