Avignon Saint-Bénézet Bridge and Popes’ Palace poster

Avignon poster, Pont Saint-Bénézet and Palais des Papes

The Pont Saint-Bénézet crosses the Rhône on its pale stone arches, ending at a small green-roofed gate at the foot of tall crenellated towers. Behind it, the towers of the Palais des Papes rise above the city. This Avignon poster brings together the city’s 2 most famous monuments in a single view. The honey-colored stone, the blue of the river and the Provençal light give the scene a wonderful softness. The arches of the bridge set the rhythm along the bottom of the image. The title “AVIGNON” accompanies this iconic landscape.

The Avignon bridge for a living room or a keepsake

Hang it in a living room, entryway, office or bedroom, on a white or sand-colored wall that brings out the blue of the Rhône. Its stone tones pair well with light wood, terracotta, linen and ceramics. It can sit alongside a Provençal market poster or other views of the South of France. It makes a great gift for a native of Avignon, a history buff, a festival-goer or a child who sings the nursery rhyme about the Avignon bridge.
