European Tribune - Comments - Lost in France : Sails of the Massif

Lost in France : Sails of the Massif | 20 comments (20 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

By the way, there's a great Top Gear programme about the three presenters driving supercars from London to the Millau bridge (and delighting in causing traffic chaos in Paris). As they point out at the end, when Chirac opened the bridge, he forgot to mention that the architect is British: Norman Foster.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

The Top Gear piece includes some fantastic images of the bridge from the air.
