Francis Cabrel, Hors Saison

Here is a lovely song from Francis Cabrel: Hors Saison. The song is put with some nice pictures from France plus the whole construction period of Pont Millau in France.

Millau Viaduct in France, the highest bridge in the world. Designed by Norman Foster (You see his photo with Jacque Chirac in the video) and constructed by French Engineers using steel and concrete in harmony. It has the appearance of a thread running through a set of needles. It is possible here to drive above the clouds.

The Millau Viaduct (French: le Viaduc de Millau) is a large cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern France. Designed by English architect Norman Foster and French bridge engineer Michel Virlogeux, it is the tallest vehicular bridge in the world, with one pier's summit at 343 metres (1,125 ft)—slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower and only 38 m (125 ft) shorter than the Empire State Building. The viaduct is part of the A75-A71 autoroute axis from Paris to Béziers. It was formally dedicated on 14 December 2004 and opened to traffic two days later.
