The Millau Viaduct is one of the highest road bridges in the world. At its highest point over the valley floor below, you can fit the Canary Wharf tower (London's second-tallest skyscraper) under the road deck...

Birdsong added to cover up naughty language, in the style of Kermode & Mayo's Film review...

  • Nice, when you look from the position of an ordinary person riding on this bridge, it seems so ordinary. But what a brilliant structure, I clap my hands. Greetings from Russia to France

    Damn, that shot at 2:34 is beautiful and impressive. Imaging driving and seeing that, knowing that you're about to drive on it.
  • Glad they covered the sides less accident from people looking over and less anxious drivers

    I live in the center of France and every year we go on vacation in the south so this bridge always remind me of holiday and great memories. I actually just crossed it 2 days ago. There's also a famous rest area just before you cross the bridge (you could see the blue sign at 3:08 before crossing it and also people walking on the left at 3:29 to a great viewing point). You can take great photos there. They also have a very interesting exposition on the construction of the bridge (with english substitles), accessible to both children and adults.

    like the high side railings.. the low 3 foot tall concrete block makes me nervous in America. especially on long bridges and high bridges.

    If you liked this southbound crossing of the Millau Viaduct, have you ever wondered what it would be like to cross the same bridge but... ...northbound? Well wonder no more. At great expense, I went back to France to get this footage for you. Enjoy... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQIWgtBjqFQ

    I’d shit if I had to pass over something that high. Don’t even Ike watching this video
  • There is no steep incline or decline,...... driving over the Rainbow Bridge in Texas is way way more harrowing. The incline going up is so steep,...and the railings on the side appears like only a foot tall.

    I heard if you clean your windshield sometimes you can see better. Maybe try it.

    the thing is with these grand bridges is that 40 years later they become a huge burden to maintain, where following the detour of the valley would only add maybe 10 extra minutes to a journey had they upgraded the original road into a 8 lane by pass. false economy.
