Pont Saint-Benezet (Pont d'Avignon)
Description
One of the symbols of the city, originally constructed to link across to the opposite side of the Rhone river, using the islands in the river, over time most of the structure has been destroyed leaving only a couple of arches on the city bank of the river, including a chapel built on the second buttress and originally holding the remains of Saint Benezet. Today you can walk out along the bridge to where it ends, weather permitting (in high winds the whole site is closed)
