Francis Cabrel, Hors Saison
Here is a lovely song from Francis Cabrel: Hors
Saison. The song is put with some nice pictures
from France plus the whole construction period of
Pont Millau in France.
Millau Viaduct in France, the highest bridge in
the world. Designed by Norman Foster (You see his
photo with Jacque Chirac in the video) and
constructed by French Engineers using steel and
concrete in harmony. It has the appearance of a
thread running through a set of needles. It is
possible here to drive above the clouds.
The Millau Viaduct (French: le Viaduc de Millau)
is a large cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the
valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern
France. Designed by English architect Norman
Foster and French bridge engineer Michel
Virlogeux, it is the tallest vehicular bridge in
the world, with one pier's summit at 343 metres
(1,125 ft)—slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower
and only 38 m (125 ft) shorter than the Empire
State Building. The viaduct is part of the A75-A71
autoroute axis from Paris to Béziers. It was
formally dedicated on 14 December 2004 and opened
to traffic two days later.
