Avignon

On Monday, we went to Avignon where the largest Gothic Palace in the world resides. It is the Pope’s Palace and was the seat of the Christian world in the 14th century. We also walked on “Le Pont Saint-Bénezet” also known as “Le Pont d’Avignon.” This is the bridge of the famous French children’s song. It was built in the 12th century and was abandoned in the 17th century after it was damaged again and again by the flood waters of the Rhone river.
