Pont Saint-Bénézet

The Pont Saint-Bénézet, the Pont d'Avignon, is the ruined medieval bridge over the Rhône at Avignon, of which four arches still stand.

Why go

The Pont Saint-Bénézet, widely called the Pont d'Avignon, is a UNESCO-listed medieval bridge over the Rhône at Avignon. The Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur regional tourism site states that four arches still stand of an original 22 arches spanning 920 metres, that a Romanesque chapel was built on one of its piers, and that the bridge was abandoned in 1669 after a flood of the Rhône destroyed most of the arches. The Palais des Papes operator sells a combined ticket that includes the bridge. Opening hours and the entrance are not stated in the sources read, so none are given.
