Pont Saint-Bénézet

Walk onto the pont Saint-Bénézet to discover the Rhône and learn about the history of Avignon’s famous bridge. The surviving arches give a sense of the structure that once linked the two banks. Visitor displays and reconstructions help you imagine how it changed over the centuries. An audio guide also offers a version for children.
