Visit the iconic Saint-Bénezet bridge, otherwise known as the Pont d'Avignon, built-in the12th century it initially boasted 22 arches but is now down to 4, having been frequently damaged by wars and floods over the centuries.
A seemingly never-ending renovation period ensued until the 17th century. In fact, in the following centuries, the Avignon Bridge went on with cycles of renovation, while cementing its iconic status through the ubiquitous children’s dance song “Sur le pont d’avignon”, popularized in the 16th and 17th centuries and somehow never forgotten!
Along with the rest of the main architectural elements of the Avignon historical center, the Saint-Bénézet Bridge was classified World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995 .
