June 13, 2004 - Guess what - from Cessenon France

Each Sunday I have a ritual of photographing the construction of the new Cooper River Bridge. Just now, we are with Rachel, Trevor and Max, our 1 yeqr old grand son. Each day we drive from Cazedarnes to Cessenon to buy the breakfast: pain aux raisin, pain aux chocolat and baguettes. There is a small suspension bridge crossing the river Orb - and I could not resist.

Near Millau is a very interesting cable stay bridge. We were unable to visit but here is a link to the Millau project
