The monument in
situé à Avignon :
An exciting visit that tells the story of Avignon and the Rhône, the legend of Saint-Bénezet and that of the famous song. Avignon bridge (Saint-Bénezet), which stands as a silent witness to the river and the city’s past, was built from the 12th century onwards, damaged numerous times by wars and floods, rebuilt and then finally abandoned in the 17th century. You can learn about the human and scientific feats required for its construction in the digital space. A 3D display shows the bridge linking the two banks, spanning across from Avignon to Villeneuve lès Avignon in 1550.Touchscreen tablets in French and English offer a lively guided tour of the monument, taking you through its chequered history.
Audio guides available in 11 languages, with a special audio guide designed for 8-16 year olds.
Free entry for under 8s. FAMILY rate for “Palace + Bridge ” ticket/2 adults + 1 child.
The multimedia apps can also be downloaded to smartphones or tablets from AppStore and Google Play, or at a special terminal in the entrance area of the Pont d'Avignon (subject to modifications).

good tips and local secrets
The garden of Musée Vouland
A beautiful, intimate little museum which offers you the opportunity to step inside a magnificent Avignon residence, where I particularly recommend the garden; a true haven of peace in the heart of the city. You can even have a snack there when you're out cycling.

View point in the middle of Pont Daladier
Pont Daladier may not be particularly beautiful, but from the middle of the bridge, the view is magnificent! You can see the Rhône, the city walls, the Pont d'Avignon and Mont Ventoux (and when the weather is clear, you can even see the relief). If you can, try and see it at night when the Pont d'Avignon is lit up!

Ban des vendanges
If you arrive around 7pm at Rocher des Doms, you'll see tables set up across the garden, which is hung with lighting garlands as the sun sets. What's more, we'll be enjoying local wine! A truly magical evening.
