Avignon Bridge

The Avignon Bridge was first built out of wood in the late 12th century, on top of old Roman foundations. It was then rebuilt in stone in the 13th century. Partially destroyed by raging flood waters of the Rhône, only 4 of the original 22 arches remain standing. After continued damage from Rhône River floods, the bridge was definitively abandoned for traffic in the 17th century. Visits of the bridge include an audio-guide in 9 languages.
