Millau bridge… over or under it?

[Surfer 81]

We have stayed in Millau campsite and it is a short cycle ride to go underneath it. Tis really gives you a picture of its enormity

Took the first two pics then popped into the visitor centre for the last. Wasn’t too fussed about paying €30 to traverse it though.

It may be a painful truth,but the French do know how to knock up a Leviathan out of steel. Le Eiffel tower ?? Twice the height of Blackpool tower a later and shallow copy. Canal Locks, a French invention, plenty more examples as well.

I spent 2 years in Chile on a vast telecomms project in the 90s all the late 19th century rail bridges looked like Horizontal Eiffel towers because Eiffel spent many years as chief structural engineer for the Chilean railways so his bridges use same fundamental ideas as the Tower..British investors and banks funded the Chilean railways back then too.

Yes class 2 is about €16

We can’t remember paying which prompts two questions. Is this something new or is it a charge going North to South but not South to North?

It's not new, first time we went over was in 2014 anyway. I'm sure it's charged both ways.
