Millau: An Engineer's Dream

Ryan, when we knew we were going to France, investigated where the Millau bridge was in relation to where we would be traveling. Much to his excitement, the bridge would be on our way down to the south of france! If you could see the photos of this engineering feat being built you would understand how AMAZING this bridge is. A huge gorge that used to require a two hour detour down the valley and back up to continue along the main autoroute from Paris to Montpellier is now a 10 minute drive across! It is a beautiful bridge, and we would recommend anyone who is driving through France to stop and enjoy it. We somehow missed the exit to visit the town below the bridge to see what it looked like from below, so the pictures are only from the exit nearby.

Enjoy!
