Every French child sings the beloved song 'Sur le Pont d'Avignon - On the Avignon Bridge' in nursery school and wants to dance on it!
The bridge's construction (1171 - 1185) was inspired by a local shepherd boy who was commanded by angels to build a bridge across the Rhone river. He was ridiculed until he dramaticaly 'proved' his divine inspiration by miraculously lifting a huge block of stone!
