C. The song talks about dancing on the bridge but everyone really danced beneath it

Answer 2

Bonjour

CORRECT ANSWER IS C

This is an old song from the 15e century.

The song says "on which one dances" but originally people were dancing on the banks of the river. So that's why the elders sometimes know this song as "sous le pont d'Avignon" (beneath the Avignon Bridge) instead of "sur" on the bridge.

hope this helps :)
