Things to do in Midi-Pyrénées, Occitanie: The Best Bridges

February 28, 2022 Joeann Galban

Stretching from the wooded Dordogne to the towering peaks of the Pyrenees, this vast region is a popular winter sports destination, but one without the hordes that besiege the Alps. Spring's melted snows lure kayakers and rafting enthusiasts. In summer, amateur and advanced hikers take to the hills.

Viaduc de Millau

Reviewed By albertv1527 - Utrecht, The Netherlands

The bridge at Millau is a wonderful achievement of modern engineering. But being on the bridge is absolutely not the best place to admire the bridge. Take a stop at the aire on  the north side (aire viaduc de Millau), this has a very good viewpoint. Staying in the area for a while? The site of the Millau tourism office has a list of the best places that offer a good view on the bridge. Do note that there can be dense fog in the valley completely shrouding the structure.

Beautiful structure, with beautiful views over the Lot River & surrounds. A perfect start for investigating the beautiful City of Cahors. You can walk around the river from the bridge to the Old Town.

Pont Canal

Reviewed By Travel_Dude1 - Los Angeles, United States

The Pont Canal is a bridge over the Tarn River. it dates from the time of Napoleon and carries canal boats over the Tarn into the port of Moissac. I had the pleasure of crossing it in a boat and lots of tourists were there to see us cross the river on a bridge in a boat. It is kind of a surreal experience to glide across seeing the river below you. If you happen to be in Moissac on a nice day, it is well worth walking up the canal and seeing the bridge and adjoining locks in action.

This is an attractive bridge in itself and right in the city centre and it’s worth walking out along it when strolling around the Place Esquirol area.
