You can drive up to the top of this mountain, which is one of the 3 mountains in Millau to paraglide (parapente) from. This mountain can also be hiked from several paths. The views are fantastic and it is a good place to see and photograph the local vultures. They use the same thermals as the paragliders and they can often be photographed together.

We travelled to Toulouse for a few days so that we could visit the Aire du Viaduc de Millau, one of the great engineering achievements of all time. This Viaduct of (1,125 feet [343 meters]) opened in 2004, at the time it was the tallest cable-stayed road bridge in the world. Designed by the French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux and English architect Lord Norman Foster to span the river Tarn gorge near Millau, to ease traffic on the A75–A71 autoroute from Paris to Béziers and Montpellier, it is truly a wonder to behold. At Toulouse Matabiau station, we just bought a group (there were 4 of us) return tickets to Albi station, from there we caught the local bus to Millau. Once on the bus its a pleasent journey to Millau, the bus even passed under the Aire du Viaduc de Millau. Arriving in Millau bus station there were still about 7km to the Viaduc, too far to walk and no bus service. Also, as it was market day, taxis were not free till later in the day, so we enjoyed a long lunch by the fountain, till the taxi was ready to take us to the Viaduct rest stop. The taxi cannot enter the rest stop, as there is a barrier, but the walk is short to the start of the footpath to the Viaduct observation point. Walking up to the path there is a wonderful view of the surrounding French countryside, stretching away for miles, also about half way up the path is a metal statue made by 50 blacksmiths to honour the 10-year anniversary. Once at the covered observation point, we found a very useful large chart of the Aire du Viaduc de Millau. with all the relevant places of interest marked. Looking at the tall graceful support towers and spreading support cables is truly a magnificent sight. TIP: It's not a short walk so wear good shoe, take a hat and water.

This is a superb structure to climb up the tight, spiral staircase that gives truly panoramic views of Creissels and the area. You can also walk around it in the quaint streets and squares. It is next to the Office de Tourisme.
