| 説明 | Avignon from outside the City walls.Close up shots of the Pont d'Avignon.First shot from this side - with passing traffic.Pont St BenezetBegun in 1177 by shepherd boy Benezet, this bridge is the subject of the famous rhyme Sur le Pont d'Avignon.When erected in the 12th century it had 22 arches and was 900 m long. Louis VIII had it almost completely destroyed when he laid siege to Avignon (in 1226).Saint Benezet BridgeConstructed in the 12th Century, this, the famous "Pont d'Avignon", originally had 22 arches and measured 900 metres long. During the seige of Avignon, Louis VIII ordered it to be almost completely destroyed.Reconstruction work was carried out until the 17th Century but the unpredictability of the Rhone caused much damage to this impressive civil engineering feat.Despite the goodwill of the people of Avignon during this century, only four arches of the bridge and Saint Nicholas' Chapel still stand. Built on two storeys, the chapel as the burial place of Benezet, shepherd of Provence, who, according to the legend, built the bridge. In 1674, the remains of the Saint were taken to Celestins' Church from which they disappeared during the French Revolution. |
