Would that be the bridge upon which one danced, according to the french
children's song? Does that song have medieval roots?

culture
Today (14. April) is the feast day of:
Benezet (d. 1184) Benezet was probably from Savoy. He was a
shepherd, but as a youth had a vision ordering him to build a bridge
over the Rhone at Avignon. He and some volunteers set to work, and
had the bridge almost done by the time B. died at about the age of
21. There were miracles during the building and more miracles at B's
tomb. Eventually, a chapel was built on the bridge to house B's
body. The bridge survived until 1669.
