The Pont Saint-Bénézet, better know today as the Pont d’Avignon, was originally a stone structure built in the 13th century. By the 17th century it was largely unusable and the river had to be crossed by ferry, but between 1806 and 1818 a new bridge was constructed to the order of Jean-Baptiste Nompère de Champagny (1756-1834), Napoléon’s Minister of the Interior
