 Such a "confrèrie" had nothing to do with a religious order or even less with a monastery, save that often monasteries were asked to audit the use of the funds since they were one of the very few institutions capable of rendering such services.The construction works were executed by professional builders not related to any religious order.The title "Pontifex Avenione / Pontife d'Avigon" ("bridge builder of Avignon") appears not to have been mentioned prior to 1665.
