It would be a little more truthful.

No, I am not American, and it was more the fact that it doesn't reach the other side of the Rhone that made me unimpressed.

1 - because it's not a pier, it's the remains of a bridge. Yes, it did go all the way across once upon a time.
2 - because it's not named "the Bridge of Avignon" anyway. It's "Pont St. Benezet", named after the person who had the vision that told him to build it.

Were you unimpressed by the size? It isn't a wharf, it actually crosses the water below. You must be American to think everything has to be huge to be any good.

er, for the same reason that the French think Jerry Lewis is a comedic genius? and that mime doesn't suck?
perhaps it's a result of the same "planning" that lead 36,000 French knights into a crushing defeat at the hands of 5,900 English archers at Agincourt... ;-)
