  • Pont Saint-Benezet (Pont d'Avignon), Avignon, France
    The bridge Saint-Bénézet or bridge of Avignon was made famous by the popular song On the bridge of Avignon ... One dances there, one dances there .... The bridge was begun in 1177. Long of 920 meters, it had 22 arches and was 4 meters wide. This imposing building, which was called the marvel of time, was built in just 8 years, until 1185. But this first bridge of the Romanesque era is destroyed until the fourth arch during the siege of 1226 The new bridge stretches for about 900 meters and has some 22 arches. In the Middle Ages, the Pont St Bénezet fits on one of the most important pilgrimage routes between Italy and Spain. It will become indispensable to the papal court that moved to Avignon in the fourteenth century. Soon, the cardinals moved to Villeneuve to escape the nuisances of Avignon, then described by the poet Petrarch "more infective and more stinky cities of the earth." The bridge was at this time the most direct link between the multiple residences that the cardinals were building, and the Palais des Papes located inside the ramparts of Avignon. At each crossing on the bridge, the Popes used to stop in front of the Bénezet chapel to pray for a moment and leave an alms of a florin. The bridge was paved in 1377 by order of Cardinal Blandiac, in order to remedy the frequent problems of slips causing many accidents and drownings. Louis XIV is one of the last to cross the Rhône before his "collapse" in the seventeenth century. Despite his desire to become owner, he will not be resolved to fund the restoration.

I gave it a one only because I couldn’t give a zero. I was told—only after I made the purchase—that I had to print the tickets, I found this INCREDIBLY frustrating: I’m traveling! Where would I have access to a printer?!? (I was able to finally use the Tourism office, but too late to use the scheduled tour) I then called the number provided, but because the person who answered couldn’t speak English, they said something that I couldn’t understand and hung up the phone. So I wasn’t able to take the tour, make any changes, or get a refund.

This tour is worthwhile to get the lie if the land on the outskirts of the city. It more of less skirts around the city walls and goes across the Rhone and back again over two different bridges. This tour is on the usual double decker bus seen in many cities, the audio is good. There is a smaller 'mini' articulated bus if you want a tour of the inner city.

We were the only passengers on this tour so it felt special. We enjoyed the audio guide and the view from the top deck. The driver was charming and all in all it was a very pleasant way to spend some time getting to know Avignon. I did admire the bravery of anyone driving such a large vehicle around some of the streets.
