Avignon's rich history is encapsulated in its iconic architecture and landmarks. The Palais des Papes stands as a testament to the city's significance during the 14th century when it was the papal residence. The Saint-Bénezet bridge, despite being partially destroyed, still spans the Rhône River and is immortalized in the famous song "Sur le Pont d’Avignon." Together, these monuments not only tell the story of Avignon's past but also contribute to its charm and appeal as a historical treasure in the heart of Provence.
