The bridge at the origin was Roman, but was washed away in 1620 by a big flood. In August 1622, a wooden bridge was built, but it was also carried by a new flood, which carried a bow and makes it useless. A ferry was installed, but as this was not enough, the original stone bridge was rebuilt. The work lasted seven years (1640-1647).

Rempart Saint-Michel

Highlight • Castle

Well-preserved southern section of the old city walls. The city meanwhile grew far beyond it's original strong defenses and large road openings had to be cut next to the original narrow gates. Fortunately they have been maintained. A pleasant bike trail follows the perimeter.

View from Pont Édouard-Daladier to the Pont Saint-Bénézet

Highlight • Viewpoint

When approaching the city from the west, you automatically have to cross this bridge, which offers a spectacular view of the Avignon "skyline" and the Pont St Bénézet.

The Pont Saint-Bénézet was probably once, when the popes still resided in Avignon, the longest bridge in Europe and led over both arms of the Rhône to the papal palace. Unfortunately, only a fraction of the former arched bridge remains. If you would like to enter it, you unfortunately have to pay admission today.
