British architect Norman Foster designed this, the world's highest bridge.
The road flies spectacularly, 270m above ground in places, along the 2.46km Millau bridge. Millau is the same place where a french farmer rode roughshod over a McDonalds, preventing the place (albeit temporarily) from operating.
One of the pylons holding the structure together is 23m taller than the Eiffel Tower - reaching 343m.
Eiffage financed it, and now the people in the village below, Millau, have another way of shielding the sun from their eyes.
