Le Sud de France – Le Pont d’Avignon

Le Pont d’Avignon (the bridge of Avignon) is a really old bridge made famous by an old folk song. (L'on y danse, l'on y danse… there they dance, there they dance.)

While it is really picturesque and quite cute, some of you may have noticed a problem with the bridge. Despite the 4€50 toll, the bridge never quite makes it to the other side of the Rhône River. It is a commuter’s nightmare.


So to all of you Washingtonian’s who complain about paying 75¢ to cross the Hood River Bridge, quit your whining. At least you get to the other side of the river!

And I think it is fairly obvious why they felt they could dance on the bridge. If nothing else, it killed the time.
