The bridge of Saint-Benezer, also known as the bridge of Avignon, is a famous medieval bridge in the southern French city of Avignon. The inspiration for the French national song "On the bridge of Avignon" was the 22-hole stone bridge built in the 12th century, which became world famous. The bridge was originally about 900 meters long, but it collapsed due to frequent flooding and had to be rebuilt many times. After the huge flood in 1668, most of the bridge was washed out and finally no longer used. It has since been abandoned and no one has tried to repair it. The surviving arches have also collapsed or been demolished, and only 4 of the original 22 arches have been preserved today. Standing on the broken bridge in the Rhone River, looking around, you can better understand the vicissitudes of the ancient city, and the broken bridge has become a scenic spot in Avignon. According to legend, the bridge's architectural design was inspired by the local shepherd, St. Beneze, and an angel ordered him to build a bridge across the river. He was initially mocked, but miraculously he removed huge stones to prove that he had God's help, and won the support of the rich. The bridge was also the place where the Rhododendrons worshiped their patron saint, Saint Nicholas. They first worshiped at the old chapel of Saint Nicholas on the bridge (where Saint Benezer's body was buried), but the bridge was in disrepair, causing clergy to fear the bridge's collapse and refuse to attend the ceremony. In the 18th century, a new chapel was built on the land at the bridge's head on the side of the bridge in Avignon. The bridge is strategically important, the only fixed bridge between Lyon and the Mediterranean, and the only bridge between the papal territory of Avignon and the French mainland under the control of the French king, so both sides of the river are guarded and guarded. On the left bank controlled by the French royal family, the powerful Philip IV tower and the castle of the new city of Avignon were built. On the side of Avignon, large gate buildings were built in the 14th century (substantial modifications in the 15th century) through gates, through walls and a ramp to enter the city.

The Papal Palace is an ancient palace, not only the papal palace, but also a fortress. During the 14th century, it was the seat of the Catholic Holy See. Standing at the highest point of the ancient city, it is viewed in a stately manner.

The Rock Park is located on the top of the rock on the left bank of the Rhone River in the city center. It is part of the old city wall. It is also a natural fortress behind the papal palace. It is just behind the cathedral. It is also the origin of Avignon's history. It was opened in the 17th century and has both English and French style. It is now free of charge as a park. The park has a terrace overlooking the Rhone River, the observation deck behind the park overlooks the old and new towns of Avignon, and the bridge can be seen from the observation deck in front. The park is rich in vegetation, tree-lined, and the environment is very good, especially the garden and rockery are very exquisite. It is a leisure outdoor place frequented by local citizens.

The Avignon wall includes a long area and composition, but also a huge fortress style building, this wall also has a strong history, the thick brick wall of the city wall has a lot of defensive role, but also a witness to history.

The Bell Tower Square is also a very classic tourist scene, the largest is this Notre Dame Cathedral, and the papal palace is a castle complex, but also one of the classic routes of tourism, the historical relics of the old city are very worth visiting.

In July, the entire old town of Avignon was transformed into a theater stage to welcome tens of thousands of fans. The streets were full of music performances, role-playing, drama promotional paintings on the walls, and long queues in front of the theater in the evening.

The largest hall in the new palace is the second floor of the Claremont VI Pastor Hall, 52 meters long, 15 meters wide, 19 meters high, the deep dome gives people a sense of infinite extension. The bishop's residence, now called the Palais Museum, is mainly based on the altar paintings of the Pope's private collection.
