[Media Source*]

Although I do not think much about France other then the fact that they attempted (and failed) to stab "US" in the back, one thing they are good at (perhaps one of the few things) is artistic beauty. The Prime minister of France inaugurated the world's highest bridge, which really is an design of splender. The bridge is 1125 feet high (62 feet higher than the Eiffel Tower) and is almost 1.5 miles long. Pictures (with descriptions) are below (click "Read More" in order to see them). Selah!

Designed by English architect Lord Norman Foster, the Millau Viaduct is composed of seven slender soaring pillars and becomes the highest bridge in the world, creating a direct route between Paris and the Mediterranean coast.
