Pont Saint-Bénézet, known as Le Pont d’Avignon

Pont Saint-Bénézet was built with twenty-two arches in the twelfth century and once spanned the Rhône, linking Avignon with Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. Today only four of the arches survive.

The bridge is known the world over thanks to the children’s song ‘Sur le pont d’Avignon’. It has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995.
