Millau

The town spans across the Tarn River valley at 600 meters elevation, surrounded by limestone plateaus and deep river gorges in southern France.

The settlement originated as Condatomagus during Roman times, developing into a market town at the intersection of major trade routes through the centuries.

The town maintains its legacy of glove manufacturing, with specialized workshops continuing the tradition of producing high-quality leather accessories since medieval times.

Two weekly markets take place on Wednesdays and Fridays in the town center, offering local produce, cheeses, and regional specialties from surrounding farms.

The Millau Viaduct stretches 2.46 kilometers across the Tarn Valley, reaching a height of 336.4 meters to form the tallest bridge structure in France.
