Iconic Bridges and Viaducts

France’s architectural landscape is defined by its diverse spans, ranging from the 1st-century Roman aqueduct of Pont du Gard to the record-breaking cable-stayed Millau Viaduct. This collection includes Gustave Eiffel’s ironwork at Garabit, the 14th-century fortified towers of Valentré Bridge, and the Renaissance elegance of Chenonceau, which uniquely supports a castle. From the Art Nouveau sculptures of Paris's Pont Alexandre III to the D-Day history of Pegasus Bridge, these structures represent pivotal moments in engineering and national history.
