Why is the Avignon bridge so famous?
The Pont Saint Bénezet, built in the 12th century and a major witness to the history of Avignon, is known throughout the world thanks to the famous children's song 'Sur le pont d'Avignon'. It has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995.
Why is the Avignon bridge not finished?
The bridge was abandoned in the mid-17th century as the arches tended to collapse each time the Rhône flooded, making it very expensive to maintain. Four arches and the gatehouse at the Avignon end of the bridge have survived.
Why is there a half bridge in Avignon?
In 1177, a young shepherd named Bénézet came down from the mountains of the Ardèche. He said he was sent by God to build a bridge in Avignon. After being moved several times and a desecration in 1791, there remained just a few bits from the mortal remains, which are now ket in the cathedral of Notre-Dame-des-Doms.
Which bridge in Avignon is the song about?
