Wow!

We saw some gorgeous parts of the country today, travelling from Avignon to Cahors via Millau sans toll roads. Chris B, if you are still tracking the route and the km you will see that's a bit strange.

But the small villages, vineyards, moutains, and then some bush/forest areas that could have almost been on the SI West Coast, were just beautiful.
Unfortunately we went from sun and 28 degrees to rain and 15, so we didn't get as good a view of some of the scenery as we could have, but still much better than you would see on a bus trip around France rushing from city to city!


In the middle of the day, we viewed from a distance, and closer, and then drove over, the Millau viaduct. We went right underneath it, and it looked just amazing from down there.


Then we drove over it, which meant paying the toll and put 2 hours on our journey but it was just breathtaking! We almost turned around and went back.



Don't think we have seen images of driving over the bridge before, nothing else to say really. We've seen some great sights, but there are not enough superlatives to describe how we felt driving over it. As usual the pics don't do justice to the vibrance of the whole structure when you are close to it. It's incredibly stunning to see as you drive on to it!
