Avignon, a city in southeastern France’s Provence region, is set on the Rhône River. From 1309 to 1377, it was the seat of the Catholic popes, and remained under papal rule until becoming part of France in 1791.
The Pont Saint-Bénézet (French pronunciation: ​[pɔ̃ sɛ̃ benezɛ]), also known as the Pont d'Avignon (IPA: [pɔ̃ daviɲɔ̃]), is a famous medieval bridge in the town of Avignon, in southern France.
A bridge spanning the Rhône between Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and Avignon was built between 1177 and 1185. This early bridge was destroyed forty years later during the Albigensian Crusade when Louis VIII of France laid siege to Avignon. The bridge was rebuilt with 22 stone arches. It was very costly to maintain as the arches tended to collapse when the Rhône flooded. Eventually in the middle of the 17th century the bridge was abandoned. The four surviving arches on the bank of the Rhône are believed to have been built in around 1345 by Pope Clement VI during the Avignon Papacy. The Chapel of Saint Nicholas sits on the second pier of the bridge. It was constructed in the second half of 12th century but has since been substantially altered. The western terminal, the Tour Philippe-le-Bel, is also preserved.
El puente de Aviñón (en francés, Pont d'Avignon), también conocido como el Pont St-Bénézet, es un famoso puente medieval sobre el rÃo Ródano; cruzaba desde la ciudad de Aviñón hasta Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, todo ello en el sur de Francia. Forma parte del Patrimonio de la Humanidad desde el año 1995, junto con el Palacio de los Papas, la catedral y Petit Palais, además de las antiguas murallas de la ciudad. Representa el desarrollo técnico alcanzado en el siglo XII, y es conocido también por una famosa canción francesa Sur le pont d'Avignon. source Wikipédia

Le Château d'Avignon est situé dans la Camargue, non loin des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. À côté du château, se trouve un ensemble de bâtiments qui hébergeaient les dispositifs d'approvisionnement, et de chauffage de l'eau desservant le château ou le parc, et les terrains agricoles alentours. Ici, la pompe Dumont qui actionnait une roue à aubes.
