Blick vom Park des Papstpalastes auf die gut erhalten gebliebenen Reste der Pont St. Bénézet, der ehemals vom Rhôneufer am Fuße des Felsens Rocher-des-Doms über die Rhôneinsel Île-de-la-Barthelasse nach Villeneuve-lès-Avignon führte --- von den einst zweiundzwanzig Brückenbogen,die im 14. Jahrhundert über die Rhône gebaut wurden, hielten der Flut von 1668 nur vier Bogen stand, so dass die Brücke heute im Fluss endet --- das Bauwerk ist durch das Volkslied *Sur le pont d’Avignon* bekannt geworden und zählt zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.
