Francis Cabrel, Hors Saison & Millau World Highest Bridge

[lapinschous1]

Millau, A380, TGV , AGV , Dassault Rafale, Ubisoft, Citroen Racing... France's engineering rules...

[s13hgp]

Foster designed the tallest bridge in the world, the Millau Viaduct in southern France, with the Millau Mayor Jacques Godfrain stating; "The architect, Norman Foster, gave us a model of art

THE BEATIFILLLLL

[chaghar]

made in germany

[daftever]

@chaghar germany ?

[WaiWu]

And the way they built it made it stand out even more... i mean pushing thousands tons of concrete bridge section through the air, brilliant!

[taquilla432]

I was lucky to be there year ago. It's incredible what human can build. The most Impressive view is when You stay on the very bottom of valley and look up. AMAZING!!!

Everything I imagined about the bridge in one video. The contrast of the old and the new. The road in the sky. Thanks.

[Peraussie]

Interesting...wanna see another interesting project..have a look in my video it's about a Cultural Centre for a university

[brettofromthghetto]

designed by English engineers

[brettofromthghetto]

re andyovhatfield: hehe...how would you know the landscape looks like that without seeing it from the bridge...as we all do now

[brettofromthghetto]

its open to al traffic...the bridge is allowed to move in high winds...more than a metre

[scallly64]

I wonder if they allow High profile vehicles over this bridge? because of the high wind factor

[Rat69Fink]

heavins too betsie #

[andyovhatfield]

Amazing piece of engineering, but what a shame to spoil such a beautiful landscape.

[yarmo28]

belle chanson! Les photos sont du sud-ouest? Où exactement? Salut des USA. The pont Millau est extraordinaire.

[scarface621000]

j'adore cette music

[timshelinbabilon]

Driving over this bridge must feel like flying!!!

[davfritz]

If the world economy plunges into depression, this will go down as another example of the insanity of man. It will have added to the debt levels terribly, all for the sake of a bypass.

[PhilJonesIII]

@davfritz French auto-routes are 'pay as you use' so as long as people are driving then its being paid for.

The town of Millau which the bridge bypasses Takes anything from 30 mins to 4 hours to get through, depending on the time of year. The cost of crossing is 4.9 euro for a car to about 24 euro for a lorry. The village was being destroyed by the heavy traffic.

[davfritz]

@PhilJonesIII all good as long as we don't see the economy get much worse.

[PhilJonesIII]

@davfritz I agree. Its bad. I've not worked for 18 months and will likely lose my house. That bridge will give me something to sleep under. lol

[brettofromthghetto]

Thank you for sharing!

To clarify a few things, while the Millau Viaduct is the second highest bridge in the world after the Royal Gorge one, it factually is the tallest one (from ground level of the pier to the top of the mast). While there are few projects that are scheduled to be higher, they are so only because they're built on higher ground and not because they are taller. The only taller project (serious project) is the Messina Strait Bridge between mainland Italy and Sicily.

[mxd6]

The Millau Viaduct is the second highest vehicular bridge measured from the roadway elevation. Its deck, at approximately 270 m above the Tarn, is slightly higher than the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia in the United States, which is 267 m above the New River. The Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado, United States has a deck considerably higher than either, at 321 m above the Arkansas River.

[AttackTheGasStation1]

You can't compare --> piles of Millau Viaduc = 343m ( tall )

suspension towers of Royal George Bridge = 46m.

[WLOVESF]

We fat Americans don't have any money to built anything cool anymore. :D

[pinguoshu]

it is about winter in a deserted small town along the sea, during winter, the off-season period. Maybe one day the people will come back It must be the off-season The sea, all the same, keeps rolling on in It is the same old empty song « where are you ? » All my letters pile up on the front mat of your house It must be the off-season A town withers in the salty fog The rage of the ocean is too close at hand Tormented, its reduced to clouds of smoke No one moves away from the quay

[caramel826]

in english, its means after season.. the singer explain how beautiful is the south west of france, and the way of life in this part of country..you now biarritz ?? you should go, it is beautiful

[sandesh999]

whatz the title of the song.. some one knows???

[coco97200]

Francis Cabrel / Hors Saison

[nawwafx]

How much money they spent

[MaxRWF]

400 millions euros

[Ammaculate44]

how much time did you spend in school..?

[MinhasDores]

Wonderful movie! It shows exactly what I would like to see about that bridge, the construction phase. The scenes are breathtaking. The song also sounds good but I don't understand a word of French. Congratulations, you did a phenomenal job putting it together.

[alajourneyman]

WOW!!!

[WildBillHickums]

incredible

[omnisong]

yeah... stories unknowned.. thank you.. i think i will visite millau in the future with my motorbike...

paolo from italy.

[tz138]

There are a couple of higher bridges being built. El Puente Baluarte will have a road deck to river clearance of 390 meters (the towers reach about 150 meters above the road deck for a total of 540 meters). It is also a cable stayed bridge, carrying a Mexican motorway...Autopista Durango-Mazatlan, Mexico Federal Highway 40D. There is also a railway bridge being built in India that is about 350 meters high. Word has it that China is working on a couple of bridges that exceed 300 meters high.

[hephernorth]

I lovely song and some very lovely pictures! Thank you!

[Dadid0u]

I live in millau

[Scorpiusgrl]

very impressive bridge. Beautiful

[virgintrainsno1]

le chateau est chenonceau!

[virgintrainsno1]

I would be sooooo pissed off if I lived i that village!

[mbencha]

A fantastic melody, and a great text. As always with sir Francis!

[Runandescape1]

i love the hors haison or wtf thing!!

[tdcadguy]

The bridge is a technological marvel, interesting and beautiful. But, to me, personally, it ruined the landscape and a beautiful valley.

Looking at the area on Google Earth, the roads in the area snaked around and presented a very long trip through the area. However, that was the beauty of the road. Now you bypass all of the beauty and look at it from afar.

[fightTHEpower08]

yes, so you can spit on it as you go by, let the car emissions fumugate down the valley and let oil run off into the town water supplies! ahh nature where have you been, lol. least its not in my backyard XD

[romantrique]

c est ou???????????????, merci!!

[chezfanchon]

[StealthMonkey25]

thats one tall mutha fckin crane ^_^

[tobekeen]

Are you jealous ? this is a beautiful bridge, and a river crosses the valley, that's why this bridge has been built

[bollythebrownnoser]

The man's got a point. It is a waste of money. Damn I'm jealous. =)

[Africantigers]

ok-this bridge is a waste of money,its serving a sparsely populated area,a road could have been built underneath the valley and its unneccessary

[sasktank]

the bridge links paris(one of the largest populations centers in the world) with the french south coast (one of the busiest beach areas in the world)

[peetieyou]

sasktank needs a geography lesson, as this bridge is nowhere near the route from Paris to the south coast. Perhaps this is because Mr. Bean went over it on his way from Paris to Cannes?? Of course, one is never even close to the Viaduc de Maillau and the Tarn on the way to Cannes from Paris. Check a map!

[nudegod]

la vie vacante

[SATkommandooo]

WHOOAW Good bridge,, greetzz

[loytime]

beautiful.

[HeadMinerve]

Ce pont quand même, il gâche bien le paysage... Dire qu'il y aura p'têt ce genre de structure (certes patrimoniale et dont certains peuvent être fiers) au-dessus de paysages encore plus magnifiques...

[edwoodcou]

pour ceux qui connaissent le Sud-Ouest l'hiver, cette chanson est une tuerie, d'une beauté,une des rares chanson qui me fasse chialer et me colle des frissons à chaque foie que je l'écoute...voila c'est dit.

[zhangliubao]

[SirFireHatch]

That's the French for you (I'm mostly French). A kick-butt example of practical engineering, yet only seen as some giant piece of art.

[kingjowl]

the arcitect who designed the bridge was british...hah

[robbie5380]

ummm shame it was a british engineer lmao

[bizzness18]

actually no it was a french engineer to dont be dumb please...it was designed by michel virlogeux(france) and norman foster(english) and was build up by french construction compagny

[bizzness18]

actualy there was a french engineer too......it was designed by michel virlogeux(france) and norman foster(english) and was build up by a french construction compagny

[josealonsoleon]

BRAVO!

La séquence de prises de vue espacées dans le temps....faut l'faire! Superbe photographie. Cela donne le goût d'aller visiter.

[scania27]

[cinbad27]

This video is tres vien ! Wow, I wish I could drive across it. merci!

[shattrel]

C'est incroyable! J'habitais a Millau il y a 18 ans, et ils avaient juste commence a le construire. Faut que j'y retourne!

[tyeporter]

You're from Millau?

Ok, answer this:

Did I see snow at 1:55?

Does it snow that far down south?

[shattrel]

Yep I'm from Millau and yes you did see snow @ 1:55. Indeed it used to snow every winter when I lived there. In fact one winter was so cold that the fountain in the middle of town froze while it was flowing! They made lots of postcards of it...

[tyeporter]

Thank you.

I agree with you that I'm going to have to go back to France and visit this.

[shattrel]

See you there maybe! Hehe.

[Birdskull]

that bridge is just awesome...

[KezVB08]

having a car crash upthere wouldnt be very fun

[takracke]

Great pics! That bridge is just insane! Incredible..

[eluko79]

Whats going on with the bridge at 2:21? Is it seriously built like that?!?

[galaxycomm]

Yes, it is!! Here is a video clip of how French engineers built this amazing bridge:

Please eliminate all spaces in the above link.

[cambassplayer666]

for ur information...it was not the french that designed the bridge:)

[galaxycomm]

Thanks for your comment cambassplayer666. This is what I mentioned in the description too and you see the photo of the designer Norman Foster in 3:20 of the video. Thanks again

[lunatic502]

Designed by English architect Norman Foster and French bridge engineer Michel Virlogeux

!!!!!!

[galaxycomm]

You are right too lunatic502!

[Echdrum]

Merci mon ami

[x3stargirl]

J'adore Francis Cabrel! Ever since my French teacher made us learn how to sing L'encre de Tes yeux, I've been obssessed with his songs. Go Franc[a]is!!

[scania27]

wow even the french can do great things viva la france

[gunshooot]

even the french hahaha actually most of the invention are french......from your garbage trought your car...

[tyeporter]

They needed the garbage for their cooking and the cars to run away faster!

ha ha ha

I'm just teasing.

[gunshooot]

its a nice joke i like it...but run away from what...

[tyeporter]

Why everything of course!

From wives to wars...

:P

[gunshooot]

wars......they actually win 12/20 war over england,france is probably the succesfull europeen country in war in europe and so the world

if you refer to 1939 to 1945 its probably because you kno nothing about history do you kno something called french interior rescistance so......make some real search

[CizzarGX]

Mr Poubelle (nice name LOL) did invent the garbage bin but the car is still a german invention

[Konfucius1918]

D'excellentes video & musique.

[tyeporter]

I agree.

[Konfucius1918]

Yeah,right,btw the bridge is great too :-)
