Amazing French bridge -Stage 18 - Albi to Mende >189km


The Viaduc de Millau south of Paris in France. Opened last winter, the Viaduc de Millau has seven supporting towers 1125 feet tall — even higher than the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The deck of this highway bridge, designed by famed British architect Norman Foster, sits 885 feet above the Tarn River. The Tour is passing across it today :)

Here's a live webcam of the bridge
