The Millau Viaduct
Aveyron - France
The Millau Viaduct is a cable-stayed bridge that crosses the Tarn river valley near Millau in southern France.
Designed by French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux and British architect Norman Foster, it is the tallest bridge in the world, with a mast ridge at 343.0 meters (1,125 feet) above the base of the structure. It is the 12th largest bridge deck in the world, being 270 meters (890 ft) between the road deck and the ground below. Millau Viaduct is part of the A75-A71 autoroute axis from Paris to Montpellier. The construction cost was approximately € 400 million. It was formally opened on December 14, 2004 and opened to traffic on December 16. The bridge has been consistently ranked as one of the greatest engineering achievements of all time.

Pont du Gard Bridge
Gard - France
The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct bridge that crosses the Gardon River at Vers-Pont-du-Gard, near Remoulins, in the Gard department of southern France. It is part of the Nîmes aqueduct , a 50 km long structure built by the Romans to carry water from a source in Uzès to the Roman colony of Nemausus (Nîmes). Because the terrain between the two points is mountainous, the aqueduct - built mostly underground - took a long, winding route that crossed the Gardon Gorge, requiring the construction of an aqueduct bridge. Built in the first century AD, the Pont du Gard is the tallest of all Roman aqueduct bridges and is, with the Segovia Aqueduct, one of the best preserved. It was added to UNESCO World Heritage list in 1985 because of its historical importance
