Pont Saint-Bénézet (Pont d'Avignon)

The bridge of the famous children's song 'Sur le pont d'Avignon'. Built in the 12th century, it once had 22 arches across the Rhône, but floods swept most of them away, and only four survive, ending abruptly in the middle of the river. You can walk out along it and visit the small chapel of Saint-Nicolas on one of its piers.

The best view of the bridge, with the Palais des Papes behind, is from the Île de la Barthelasse across the river; a free shuttle boat crosses from near the bridge.
