Le Pont d'Avignon : l’énigme du monument qui s’arrête au milieu du fleuve | GEDEON ARCHEO

#avignon #heritage #history Thanks to a children's song taught in schools worldwide, hundreds of millions of people have the "Pont d'Avignon" etched in their minds. A unique bridge, an intimate bridge linked to everyone's childhood. But its image remains vague until the day the actual site is discovered. This monument, one of the most famous in the world, is indeed perplexing: nestled against fairytale walls, one of its piers topped with a chapel... and above all, a bridge that abruptly stops above the river. What happened to it? Why does so little remain? Where did it lead? And what did it look like in its heyday? This film follows the PAVAGE scientific campaign, which lasted more than five years to reconstruct, in 3D architecture, the entire 915 meters and medieval surroundings of the Pont d'Avignon.
