Avignon’s “Sur le pont d’Avignon, l’on y danse, l’on y danse”, this ditty is more famous than the papal residency.  Pont st-Benzet was too narrow for the danse of rhyme. Spanning the Rhône and connecting Avignon with Villeneuve-lèz-Avignon, the bridge is now a ruin, with only four of its original 22 arches. According to legend, it was inspired by a vision that a shepherd named Bénézet had while tending his flock. The bridge was built between 1177 and 1185 and suffered various disasters. (In 1669, half of it fell into the river.) On one of the piers is the two-story Chapelle St-Nicolas -- one story in Romanesque style, the other in Gothic. It will be worth full to walk through the quartier de La balance, this was the place where the Gypsies lived in the 1800th century. Over the years, La Balance had grown seedy, but since the 1970s, major renovations have taken place. Start at place du Palais, going along rue de La Balance, detouring, if possible, into the historically evocative rue de la Grande Fusterie and the rue des Grottes. The main interest here is the restoration of the old town houses with their renewed elegant facades, many graced with mullioned windows. There are some of the ramparts in the districts made in 14th century by the popes, were restored in the 19th century by that busy restorer of medieval century.
