アビニョンの橋で
A group of children gather on the historic Pont Saint-Bénézet in Avignon, France. They sing and dance to the traditional 15th-century French song 'Sur le Pont d'Avignon,' imitating the lords, ladies, and common folk who once crossed the bridge. Their joyful movements bring the lyrics to life under a bright sky.
As the music plays, the animation shows how people would come from near and far to dance on the bridge. The children's laughter and playful steps echo the song's spirit, capturing a timeless scene of community and celebration. Through simple animation, the short film recreates the vibrant atmosphere of medieval Avignon, where the bridge was a meeting place for dance and music.
