AVIGNON BRIDGE (SAINT-BENEZET BRIDGE)
Go there and contact
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.

Ce pont coupé est original, et permet une promenade agréable. La visite est ponctuée de panneaux intéressants permettant de mieux connaître l'histoire de ce joli pont.
Mais il a été difficile de prendre des photos, tant les cars de touristes affluaient en permanence...

Beaucoup plus beau vu d'en bas et le soir lorsqu'il se pare de son habit lumineux, mais l'histoire racontée lors de la visite du pont est très intéressante et permet d'en savoir plus sur le pont et la cité des papes.
