A remarkable engineering story!
Famous for the Eiffel Tower, the engineer Gustave Eiffel also made history with impressive works, including the Garabit viaduct, located nearby. Inaugurated in 1884, this masterpiece held a world record at the time thanks to its metal arch of 165 meters of reach, supporting a platform perched 122 meters above the ground.
But that’s not all! His genius is also expressed in our territory through the bridge on the Lebot, which you can cross by taking the road connecting Cantoin to the Pont de Tréboul.
