Comment
(1348) Gules, three golden keys fesswise one above the other, the bits to the dexter. https://armorialdefrance.fr/page_blason.php?ville=3199As you emerge from the old town and walk along the riverbanks, you can't help but look for Avignon's famous bridge, Pont Saint-Bénézet. Contrary to what the song says, its width doesn't really allow you to dance on it (according to the dances of the time) and it's underneath, where the banks had been laid out, that you'd go dancing. An older version of the song reads "SOUS le pont d'Avignon, l'on y danse l'on y danse... ". https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avignon
