...The Pont Saint-Bénézet, which is said to have been built in 1177, was washed away midway through, leaving only its remains to this day, but it is known as the bridge on which children dance in the French folk song "The Pont d'Avignon." In modern times, in addition to functioning as an administrative center, it is also known for the Avignon Arts Festival, which was established after World War II, and its avant-garde theater performances and "sound and light spectacles" held in the courtyard of the former Papal Palace are gaining more and more recognition every year.

…伝説上1177年架設とされるサン・ベネゼ橋は中途で流失したまま,残骸を現在にのこしているが,この橋はフランス民謡《アビニョンの橋》で子どもたちが踊る橋として知られている。現代にあっては,行政上の中心として機能するほか,第2次大戦後発足したアビニョン芸術フェスティバルをもって知られ,旧教皇庁の中庭でおこなわれる前衛劇,および〈音と光のスペクタクル〉は,年々評価が高まっている。【樺山 紘一】 ※「アビニョン芸術フェスティバル」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
