Eiffel's Bridge

We were very lucky yesterday with the weather and had a great trip from Saint-Flour to Le Malzieu, passing by the Garabit viaduct which was built by Gustave Eiffel. It is an incredible structure and also a work of art, though it did mean a steep descent to the river below and a steep climb afterwards.

We had meant to ride to St Chely, but went to Le Malzieu instead. It is an old medieval town with original walls and buildings and is located on a bend in a river gorge. We made it just before the rains came and sat in a bar drinking beer and wine until it cleared.
