Placed on the valley’s slopes, as light as a feather, the viaduct of the Viaur is a wonderful achievement by man. At 116m above ground level, it spans the Viaur with majesty. With its steel beam, its arches and its rivets, this metallic lace from the XIXth century, designed to support Toulouse-Rodez railway, is a work of the genius Paul Bodin.
