Fodor's Expert Review Pont St-Bénézet

Unlike the London Bridge, this other subject of a childhood song (and a UNESCO World Heritage site) stretches only partway across the river. After generations of war and flooding, only half of the arched pont (bridge) remained by the 17th century. Its first stones were allegedly laid with the miraculous strength granted St-Bénezet in the 12th century, and it once reached all the way to Villeneuve. It's a bit narrow for dancing "tous en rond" (round and round), and the traditional place for dance and play was under the arches. You can climb along its high platform for broad views of the Old Town ramparts. The ticket price includes an audio guide or tablet, and the latter (for which you'll need to show your passport or driver’s license) illustrates how the bridge appeared in medieval times.
