And my very comfortable room was the one wiht the open window. I told the owner that I might be back later on and he gave me a card.
Absolutely — and then they will have time to arrange a quick holiday, or to close for redecoration or the like. But this photo will give you an idea of what Rennes les Bains is really like. It would do my head in after a while if I had to live here. And then I turned off the recommended route as I wanted to make a deviation. Something has always cropped up. But today in Albi I picked up the signs and even though this meant a late return home, well, here I am.
Driving across the aforementioned. Anyone who knows the southern slopes of the Massif Centrale will know of Millau. These two roads collide at a little roundabout in Millau and it is no joke to say that people have sat here without moving a wheel for five hours as the traffic snarls itself up well and truly. I gave up and went for a coffee. All that changed in Plans had been proposed on several occasions for a way of dealing with the traffic but ultimately they bit the bullet and set to work to build what at the time was the tallest road bridge in the world.
Opened in December , it turned Millau into something of a tranquil backwater, much to the relief of the residents. And, incredible as it might seem, once it opened there was an outcry from certain local businesses that their takings had dropped since the building of the viaduct.
Travelling north on the A75, I stopped off to visit another iconic viaduct along the way. It is magnificent. Everywhere you go in this country, you only have to look at ametal structure and someone will tell you that Gustave Eiffel he of the Tower fame built it. In this case they would be right for once — at least, in the general scheme of things.
