Die durch das Kinderlied bekannte Brücke (Sur le pont d’ Avignon, L’on y danse, l’on y danse…) ist neben dem Papstpalast Wahrzeichen der Stadt und ebenso Teil des UNESCO Weltkulturerbes. Der Text des Liedes lautete früher allerdings „Sous le pont…“ und deutete auf ein Vergnügungsviertel hin, das sich zu Füßen der Brücke befand. Von den 22 Brückenbögen, die einst die Rhône über die Insel Ile-de-la-Barthelasse hinweg nach Villeneuve-lès-Avignon überspannten, sind nur noch vier Bögen erhalten. Die restlichen wurden 17. Jahrhundert vom Hochwasser im weggespült. Auf der Brücke befindet sich die zweistöckige St. Nicolas-Kapelle. Ihr unteres Stockwerk geht noch auf die ursprüngliche Brücke aus dem 12. Jahrhundert zurück, wohingegen das obere Stockwerk im 13. Jahrhundert im Zuge einer Restaurierung der beschädigten Brücke entstand, bei der das Straßenniveau angehoben wurde. Im nahen Musée en Images können wir über 100 Bilder der Stadt aus unterschiedlichen Epochen bestaunen.
