Le Viaduc de Millau, A75

Le Viaduc de Millau,  A75
... the object of my affections since I saw a documentary about it's construction. This image was taken after my first crossing from the services at the north end; the driving cab in R0X1 gave me a great high view. The services offer viewing areas, a permanent exhibition about its construction, souvenir shops and cafe.

The A75 from Clermont Ferrand to Béziers gives spectacular views of the Massif Central, high altitudes, several tunnels and south of St. Flour at the services, a wonderful view of another important bridge; Eiffel's iron railbridge spanning the R. Truyere.

I made this journey several times but not always in the same direction!!

It is an amazing construction. I don't know how I would feel going across it as I don't like heights, but I guess it's different when in a vehicle. Love your PiPs too Maggie.

Two nice shots, one of my favourite bridge plus Eiffel's masterpiece. I remember the awful long queues driving through Milau before the viaduct was constructed. Then for a few years we watched the construction before finally crossing it both ways several times. I have many photographs of it all. You have captured them both beautifully

Amazing, Maggie! Several Golden Gate bridges lined up one after the other...or so it seems ;-)
I've been in that area so many times but always missed that impressive bridge. Next time...!!

A superb series of images Maggs. That is quite some construction. The iron railbridge is also very attractive

Have a great evening

Yes.
Your picture helps me to understand your fascination with this viaduc.
Remember well all discussions at school ( Switzerland ) when its first project was known.
Forgetting the engineer I was at the time of its inauguration, I keep the respect for
its beauty, Have a great day Maggs.

What an amazing piece of engineering.................and quite beautiful. It stands in a gorgeous verdant landscape as well and you've captured it perfectly in this image Maggie. Like Rosa above, I don't like heights and I'd probably have to find an alternative route rather than drive over it..!!

A lovely series in the PiPs too. All very nicely composed and taken.
