The Millau Viaduct has a seductive approach	Stop at the viewing point on the north side for a stunning view
The viaduct is higher than the Eiffel tower above the River Tarn	Driving across has a distinct zing to it

Take the A75 to embrace the landscape glories of Aveyron, Midi Pyrenees, and Languedoc

For 6.50 euros a drive across this lovely bridge is well worth it. Stop by at the viewing point on the north side of the Tarn Valley - and be amazed by the sheer size of it. Drive further north to see bridges still being constructed. Enjoy the true marriage of the joys of driving and the beauties of the French Landscape. Designed by Norman Foster, it is higher than the Eiffel tower above the river Tarn
