Millau Viaduct РMillau viaduct holds the world record for the tallest bridge, culminating at 343 metres (higher than the Eiffel tower), 2460 metres long and touching the bottom of the Tarn valley in only 9 places. The viaduct is the most spectacular link in La M̩ridienne, the A75 motorway linking Clermont-Ferrand with B̩ziers and Narbonne, the least congested and cheapest route between Paris and the Mediterranean. Conceived by the French engineer Michel Virlogeux and designed by the English architect Lord Norman Foster, it fits perfectly into the naturally intact and grandiose landscape

Route Napoleon follows the route taken by Napoleon in his 1815 escape from Elba to Grenoble. This asphalted 325km road begins at Golfe-Juan, where Napoleon disembarked on 1st March 1815, beginning the Hundred Days that ended at Waterloo. It took Napoleon and a thousand men a whole week, but today you can drive the entire route in about eight hours. Our tour splits the route into two sections so that you have plenty of time to enjoy the fantastic scenery. Major towns along the route include: Vallauris (where much of the landing took place after initial landings at Golfe Juan), Cannes, Grasse, Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey, Seranon, Castellane, Digne, Sisteron, Gap, Corps, La Mure and Grenoble.
