A beautiful bridge with many interesting years of history, you can listen to them thanks to the usual audio guides. Appreciated

Cool to finally see the pont d’Avignon… but it wasn’t that impressive. It was a bit of a let down, to be honest, but it was still a pleasant visit with a beautiful view of the lake!

The famous historic Bridge of Avignon. In fact it is only half bridge as part of it was broken down centuries ago due to changed of streaming of river Rhone. Marvellous walk and Tables with good explanations about construction and history also in English. A lift allows also access for handicaped onto the Bridge.

Historic and world famous monument. You could just admire the bridge from afar, but I think it’s definitely worth paying to go and explore properly. You’re given a little handheld device which gives you snippets of information along various points of the bridge. Thankfully the recordings only last for less than 2 minutes - which is plenty of time to give you some interesting facts without boring you to tears! It’s also worth visiting at sunset and when it gets dark - it’s a really beautiful monument at all times of the day and night.

A piece of our childhood memories is revived while walking on this bridge. A must visit when you are in Avignon. NB beware of the early closing times

You can learn a lot about the history if you pay for the ticket. If you prefer to see amazing buildings or ancient rooms, you are not going to get much “walking on top of the bridge“.

Beautiful medieval City. Always joy to go back.. The Pont d'Avignon The Pont d’Avignon is a testament to the exciting history of the capital of Vaucluse. Built between 1177 and 1185, the Saint-Bénezet Bridge, known as “Pont d’Avignon”, originally consisted of 22 arches connecting Avignon with Villeneuve lez Avignon. Extensive subsequent damage from war and flooding from the Rhone river means that now only 4 arches remain. Originally, it was the only existing link over the river between Lyon and the sea. Today, globally recognised by the song “Sur le pont d’Avignon”, it is declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.

It was a very nice day, and the palais de papes was absolutely stunning. I then walked towards the Pont Saint-Benezet, which was an amazing walk because of the many shops and old streets. I had to walk through the old wall, which was gorgeous, and then I laid eyes on the bridge, which was very historical. All in all a great trip.

If you are going to see the palace don't buy this separately. €12 palace ticket included this bridge. Nice scenic overview of palace from here.

We stopped by this bridge as part of a combo ticket that also included the palace of popes and the garden of the palace of popes. The views were nice and they had video exhibits explaining the history of the bridge and how it has been destroyed over time. One of the more Roman inspired aspects of the city.

A nice bridge with beautiful views wooden bridge spanning the Rhône between Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and Avignon was built between 1177 and 1185. This early bridge was destroyed forty years later in 1226 during the Albigensian Crusade when Louis VIII of France laid siege to Avignon. Beginning in 1234 the bridge was rebuilt with 22 stone arches. The stone bridge was about 900 m (980 yd) in length and only 4.9 m (16 ft 1 in) in width, including the parapets at the sides. The bridge was abandoned in the mid-17th century as the arches tended to collapse each time the Rhône flooded making it very expensive to maintain. Four arches and the gatehouse at the Avignon end of the bridge have survived. The Chapel of Saint Nicholas which sits on the second pier of the bridge, was constructed in the second half of 12th century but has since been substantially altered. The western terminus, the Tour Philippe-le-Bel, is also preserved. The bridge was the inspiration for the song Sur le pont d'Avignon and is considered a landmark of the city. In 1995, the surviving arches of the bridge were classified as a World Heritage Site, together with the Palais des Papes, Cathédrale Notre-Dame des Doms, and other monuments from the historic centre of Avignon, because of its testimony to Avignon's leading role in the Papacy during the 14th and 15th centuries.

I've dreamt of visiting the bridge since I was 14. Today, at 56, the dream came true. "Sur le Pont d'Avignon, on y danse..." blared in my head as I walked along that lovely span that remains. It was everything I hoped for and more. But then again, Avignon is spectacular!

Amazing place. Only the way they're trying to get money from tourists is a bit much. everything is overcharged. And all the restaurants sell the same food

Very nice, the song SUR LE PONT D'AVIGNON is coming from here from this bridge. In those times people where having celebrations on the bridge an singing and dancing. From above the old city (park) you have nice view to this bridge.

Don't miss out on the occasion to visit the famous bridge. Go and stand at the 'end' of it and feel the weight of history, feel the struggle between a king and a region.

Bought a combo with palace, the bridge was essentially free add-on. It's not bad, though very little remains from the original 920m long bridge. I did not know it was curved. The audio guide is a must.

Good place and is possible to go around outside for free. Visit palace and bridge with ticket. Good thing: possibility to park the car using European Telepass.

Good audio guide in muliple languages. Interesting stories. We really enjoyed our visit. The only drawback is that the story downstairs about the recent works is written only in French, no English.

The view is a bit disappointing and the main road passing just nearby really removes the charm of this historic site. Audio guide is nice to get to know the history.

Buying tickets here will give you a free self guided audio tour, which was an unexpected but cool addition. The tour itself had dozens of various points of interest, but too many unless you're very interested in all the history of the bridge. Overall it's worth seeing for the history and some views, but if you can't make it then don't feel like you missed out on something special.

It's worth the 5 Euro entrance fee to walk on this bridge and learn it's history. You get a audio guide that lets you hear short descriptions tagged by numbers. There are restrooms in the entrance area and the walk on the bridge is pleasant. There are great views and lots of photo opportunities.

You're charged a few Euros to get onto the bridge, and there's a small exhibition, but you'll see more of the bridge from either the riverbank or up on the nearby hillside. It's a bit of a 'must do' while in Avignon but you'll not really miss much if you don't have time.

Quite a reasonable destination and the view was pretty. It was only a top up of €2.5 from the palace of popes ticket (although the compound was separate) but it's worth a visit.

I thought there was much more to see it is a lovely place but I didng like the tourguide by phone i could hardly understand what tge guude was saying and i didnt like to carry a phone. Tgere wgere some nice vieuws on ghe bridge but i liked the old town more

Very interesting piece of history.

A world-famous monument, a trip to Avignon would certainly not be complete without a visit to it. The bridge itself and the views from it are definitely worth a visit, it's an amazing place. We visited during the summer season on a weekday and it wasn't terribly crowded. The entrance fee is very reasonable.

Enjoy the breathtaking view here while listening to the audio guide of the history of the bridge. A must-visit place in South of France

Am incredible town. We stayed in the old city for two nights and explored by foot. I look forward to returning.

If you purchase the ticket as an add on the Palais du papes, it is a very good deal and worth visiting (otherwise the price is a little steep for a short visit). The audio guide is informative providing the history of the bridge and how it came to be a bridge to no where.

Nice walk along the Rhône River to see the bridge as the sun was setting. The walkway is paved and felt safe to walk along.

Includere in the ticket. So must see too! Historical monument + love the music. They also offer little cellphone guide. Love the idea.

Of course when you are on this bridge, you will hear other tourists signing this famous French nursery rhyme. Nice view along the Rhone river. They provide audio devices for the self guided tour. You do need the health pass, or proof of full vaccination or -ve COVID-19 test result within the last 72 hours in order to enter. Parking is close by. Definitely worth visiting. Be sure to sign the nursery rhyme while on the bridge as part of the experience.

Sure la pont d'Avignon. Beautiful place, great for sight seeing but parking is a nightmare during high season or the festival. I would recommend trying the Palais de Pope parking or just outside near the big wheel if that's unavailable.

Unbelievably a place from the 1300 still with original ceiling.. beutiful

It was okay, Although I expected something more, given the hype. The audioguides provide some extra info and the Rhone from the bridge looks splendid. Otherwise it was not so special.

Historic bridge, famous to french speakers for being talked about in a popular song taugh for children. The song speaks about dancing in circles, hence be prepared to see people dancing on the bridge. An entrance fee is required to access the bridge and an audiobook is provided explaining the history of the bridge. A must when visiting Avignon.

Really cool place The bridge looks nice above the serene water Go there at dusk or dawn you'll see Some chill lil areas next to the water when you walk towards the east, to contemplate the beauty

It reminds me of the song my mother was singing when I was young ... The view of the river is quite nice. There is an elevator so we can go with a stroller. There is also an audio guide which is nice when you have the time to listen to it and no kids to watch out. It can be dangerous with very young kids, the barriers are not safe and they can easily fall.

It’s a cool thing to see but the best view of this bridge is actually from the nearby park. You’re not missing out if you don’t pay to enter.
