"MILLAU GORGE BRIDGE" Millau by ViajesdelMundo

Millau Travel Guide: 62 reviews and 122 photos

We did not actually go to Millau, because this stupendous bridge now crosses the gorge where the town lies. We were on our way to Carcassonne from Le Puy en Velay.

The Millau Bridge crosses the River Tarn in the Massif Central mountains. It was designed by the British architect Lord Foster and at 300m (984 feet) it is the highest road bridge in the world, weighing 36,000 tonnes. The central pillar is higher than the famous French icon, the Eiffel Tower. The Bridge opened in December 2004 and is possibly one of the most breath taking bridges ever built.
