Description |
A map showing the Rhône at Avignon and the abandoned Pont Saint-Bénézet bridge in 1685. The map was produced as part of a project to block the arm of the Rhône that flowed near Avignon and to create a port on the right bank of the river near Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. The project was never realised. The map is signed by Jean François de Montaigu who was an engineer working for Louis XIV of France. The map is mentioned in Sournia & Vayssettes (2006). The 14th century ramparts of Avignon are shown in red at the bottom and Villeneuve-lès-Avignon is at the top. A-B indicates the path of the chain ferry between Villeneuve and the Île de la Barthelasse. F-G is the cable ferry from the island to the quay at Avignon. The map has an overlay sheet on the left-hand end of the Île de la Barthelasse near the ruined Saint-Bénézet bridge. |
