AVIGNON BRIDGE (SAINT-BENEZET BRIDGE)
A remarkable Unesco World Heritage bridge, with four arches and a magnificent Romanesque chapel in Avignon.
We dance, we dance... The famous bridge, sung in every language, dates back to the 12th century! Today, only 4 of the 22 arches linking the two banks remain. Destroyed and rebuilt many times, ravaged by the destructive fury of the soudards and the wrath of the river, and finally abandoned in the 17th century, it is now a Unesco World Heritage site. The Saint-Bénézet chapel stands on one of the pillars, surmounted by the Saint-Nicolas chapel.

La Chapelle est très jolie.
La visite est rapide étant donné que le pont n'est pas complet!
Malgré sa taille réduite, l'édifice est rempli d'histoire.
