bonjour

Whet is odd about the bridge at Avignon and a song that was sung about it traditionally ?

CORRECT ANSWER is C

This song is a little song from the 15e century, but it remains still very popular even now.

It says "On the bridge" "Sur le pont d'Avignon, on y danse, on y danse..." but originally people were dancing on the banks of the river.

That's  why the elders sometimes know this little song, still sung in nursery schools for young children, "Sous le pont d'Avignon.." (beneath) instead of "Sur le pont d'Avignon.."

Pleased to help :)

Bonne journée :)
