sur Le Pont d'Avignon

According to legend, it was a divinely inspired young shepherd called Benezet who caused the bridge ("le pont") at Avignon to be built. To validate his mission he lifted up an enormous stone block and cast it down at the designated site. The Saint Benezet Bridge was built in the twelth century.
