The Millau Viaduct over the Tarn Valley is truly impressive. The French are amassing a wealth of records here: the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world, the tallest structure in France, and the tallest bridge in Europe. The central pier is 343 meters high—13 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower!
