I think you get airline frequent flier miles if you drive this bridge.
The Millau viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and Barcelona and features the highest bridge piers ever constructed. The tallest is 240 meters high and the overall height will be an impressive 336 meters, making this the highest bridge in the world.
Be sure to maximize your screen for this.
They haven't printed enough money to pay me to drive across this bridge!! This bridge is located in Southern France and is the highest bridge in the world.

LOL! It's not the bridge that scares me, it's that it was built by the French!!!!

From the people that brought you the Renault and the Peugot. (SMILE)

Citroen... It's state of the art for its suspension too. It's a good car. Though majority here will still prefer the German cars to French cars.

I don't want to be a killjoy, but I bet that the side-walls of the bridge have been built high enough to hide the view from drivers. This is usually the case on high European bridges - I suppose the idea is to prevent drivers being distracted by the view.

Do you have an exact GPS coordinate for this bridge? Will go Google Earth.

Or to jump, at the thought of the price of gas...

So I will have to get a DS Citroen and do the bridge. If anything happens the car will hydraulicly balance itselfI Cheers.
