Bénézet (Pont d'Avignon)
Avignon, France
The Pont Saint-Bénézet in Avignon, known from the song 'Sur le Pont d'Avignon,' was constructed in the 12th century. Today, visitors can walk its remaining four arches and enjoy stories of its fabled builder, the shepherd Bénézet. It's worth the visit at sunrise or sunset when the light offers a magical view over the Rhône.
