"The 900m-long bridge linked Avignon with Villeneuve-lès-Avignon...there are fine (and free) views from Rocher des Doms park, Pont Édouard Daladier and Île de la Barthelasse's chemin des Berges."

"Spanning the Rhône and connecting Avignon with Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, the bridge is now a ruin, with only 4 of its original 22 arches...built between 1177 and 1185 and suffered various disasters."
