The Tarn Valley

---

The reason for visiting Millau was twofold. Firstly to experience the recently opened nearby viaduct built to carry the A75 road over the deep and wide Tarn valley and designed by Norman Foster. Secondly to drive along the 75k of the Gorges du Tarn with its many precipitous sides. Both were equally impressive.

We then had a long and sometimes spectacular drive over several passes, down the Ardeche valley and along several motorways leading to Chapelle d’Abondance in the Alps to visit Dick and Angie Anderson whose chalet we used during our winter’s season skiing two years ago. We arrived after nine in the evening.
