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.

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.
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.
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

suspension towers of Royal George Bridge = 46m.
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
