Across the ages human beings are quite incredible at not letting natural obstacles get in their way. It struck me as we marvelled at three bridges - all built hundreds or thousands of years apart and all miraculous. The almost new viaduct at Millau which takes the motorway across the gorge, the medieval bridge at Cahors (which was actually built for defensive reasons to protect the city rather than to cross the river) and the Roman acqueduct at the Pont du Gard.
