This is a bridge I've always wanted to visit, ever since I first learned the song "Sur le Pont d'Avignon". We bought the pass for both the bridge and the Palais des Papes which gives a discount. The audio guide was included in the cost so I thought it was good value. It also had pictures on the screen to... More

Walk to the end turn around and watch the great panorama. Enjoy the breeze and shades of Green of the Rhone River and start whistling...I'm sure, you know which song.

The kids loved it, its picturesque but we didn't bother paying to walk across the bridge. We didn't think it was worth the 4 euros each! The town itself is definitely worth a visit, regional shops, château and its quiet and clean with brasseries for lunch or a coffee.

A very well maintained ruin, with lots of visitors. Access was made easier for the disabled by way of a lift up to the bridge - available if you ask for a key to operate the lift. Down below in the entrance area there are helpful tables and chairs where you can eat and drink whatever you have brought with... More

I just loved to listen to the audio guide, and feel you're part of the history of the cute song "Sur le pont d' Avignon"

This bridge is the reason why we know Avignon since we were kids and also the reason why we went to this nice city decades later. The bridge is really interesting and an absolut must whenever you're in the Provence.

This interesting bridge built from 1177 through 1185 is enchanting. Take the time to really soak in its beauty and if so inclined....walk out on the ancient structure. Only four of the original twenty two arches remain, most having been destroyed in a great flood in 1669.

The story of the bridge's building, use, repair, partial destruction and now the creation of a high-tech visualization is well told in the audio guide and film and exhibits. It's surprisingly interesting, and being able to walk out to the middle of this section of the Rhone and look back at the city is terrific.

I first learned the song in sixth grade, never expecting to get to go to Avignon and stand on the bridge. It was a thrill! Although you can view the bridge from the riverbank, it is just not the same experience as standing on it. The Rhone and the history explanations only made it more fun. Glad I did this... More
