Sur le Pont d'Avignon

Pont d'Avignon at dusk

"Sur le pont d'Avignon" (pronounced [syʁ pɔ̃ daviɲɔ̃]) ("On the Bridge of Avignon") is a French song about a dance performed on the Pont d'Avignon (officially Pont Saint-Bénézet) that dates back to the 15th century. The dance actually took place under the bridge and not on the bridge (sous le Pont d'Avignon, not sur).[1][2]
