View of the Millau Viaduct

Cureplat Bridge

super sortie mode trail

The massive structure rising above the landscape at this location – with its round dome (although only the vaulting ribs of the roof dome were built, the actual roof covering was never completed) and the lantern erected above it – and crowned by a cross, doesn't seem to quite fit with the small sacred monument at its peak. User 'Cx' has already provided information in his post about the history of the building and the originally planned statue of the Madonna, which was supposed to bestow its blessing upon the land and its people from here.

Old castle of the 11th century which dominates the valley of the Tarn on its rocky outcrop.

The Puech Fontaneilles is topped with a monumental pedestal. Indeed, from the 19th century, a project to build a Virgin was launched with the construction of the pedestal. Problem: once completed, the statue ordered in Belgium never arrived on site (suggesting a scam) and today a cross has finally taken the place of the statue. Anyway, the site offers a magnificent view of the Tarn valley.
