We have a long drive today. We want to see the bridge in Millau, it’s a bit of a detour and more back roads but we’re sure seeing the country! This is real France; farms on rolling hills and beautiful villages with people dining outside.

The Millau bridge is an incredible feat of engineering it is 2.5 k long joining two mountains 2550 ft above sea level. We strongly recommend looking this up on google as in this case a picture can truly replace a 1,000 words. The motorway crosses the bridge and this section has 110k speed limit (normally 130) but it was quite gusty up so high even though generally it was not a windy day. Our little Citroen was being buffeted around a bit so it felt slightly freaky! We stopped at the ‘Pointe de Vue’ to take photos of this tribute to man’s ingenuity and God-given intelligence.
