Visite matinale du Pont Saint-Bénezet
Pont Saint-Bénezet boulevard du Rhône 84000 Avignon
"On the bridge of Avignon, we dance, we dance…". We all know this song. But do you really know the story of the bridge?
Like a broken link between the two banks of the Rhône, it raises its four arches facing the city walls. Built by Saint Bénezet, it was for centuries the main access to the papal city.
Walk with us across its deck for a special preview before it opens to the public and find the answers to your questions. What is the true story of Bénezet? What was the bridge's real purpose? Under what circumstances was it destroyed?
Duration: 1 hour.
