Pont Saint-Benezet (Pont d'Avignon) Review

Avignon, AVIGNON, in ancient language means "city by the river" or "city of the wind". It is located on the high slope on the banks of the RHONE River in Provence, and stands out in a plain and low valley, with high winds blowing all year round.

The bridge is very famous and its name is derived from its builder. Because the bridge was broken by the flood, it is also called a broken bridge. It is reminiscent of the broken bridge on the West Lake. The river under the bridge is called the Rhone. Because of its beautiful shape, the bridge is also a location for some film and television works. It is also because of this that the bridge is known to many Chinese.

The bridge, also known as the Broken Bridge, is a famous bridge built in the Middle Ages and has been included in the World Heritage Site. Originally built between 1171 and 1185, the bridge spans the Rhone River and was the only bridge downstream of the Long River for a long time, the main passage between merchants and Catholic pilgrims between Spain and Italy. The bridge, which is about 900 metres long, was often hit by floods in the past and was eventually destroyed by floodwaters in 1668 after a mega-flood, which it could no longer be used, and it has since been abandoned and no one has tried to repair it. Surviving arches have also collapsed or been demolished, and the original 22 arches have only four preserved, making them today's "broken bridges".

Avignon Bear is one of the most beautiful towns in France, and the bridge is famous for a song. The bridge was washed away by the flooded Long River during construction, leaving only four piers and a chapel. The old town still retains its old look and makes people linger. The theater festival held in July every year makes this small town famous.

The Avignon Broken Bridge is located on the moat outside the city wall of the ancient city. It is a real broken bridge. At present, only about half of the stone bridge is still on the river. This half of the stone bridge is well renovated and the fracture is reinforced. Unknown people thought it was originally a half bridge. The appearance of the broken bridge is free, and you can watch it on the high slope of the city or on the river outside the city. You need to buy tickets to go to the bridge. The ticket with the Pope's Palace only needs to add 2 euros. Sometimes the wind on the bridge is very strong, but the effect is not seen.

It is a famous medieval bridge across the Rhone River.

Bridges with a long history are often washed away by floods and built repeatedly. It feels that the scenery here is still the most beautiful at dusk. It happens that a couple of brides come to take wedding photos, which is also a very romantic place, looking only for permanence.

The bridge of San Beneze, a famous 12th century bridge over the Rhone River, was originally about 900 meters long, but due to frequent flooding, it became today's "broken bridge".
