The Pont Saint-Bénézet in Avignon dates back to the 12th century and still towers over four of its original 22 arches. Visitors can walk through the remains of the bridge and view the historic bridge houses. The bridge offers a unique view of the Rhône and Avignon's old town. It is closely linked to the well-known children's song "Sur le Pont d'Avignon" and the city's medieval history.
