Chanteperdrix viaduct, Railway bridge in Antrenas, France.

The railway bridge stretches across 235 meters with a height of 43 meters and features nine rounded arches with 20-meter openings.

Engineer Léon Boyer directed the construction of the Chanteperdrix viaduct between 1881 and 1887, representing an investment of 10 million francs at that time.

The Chanteperdrix viaduct stands as an example of 19th-century French railway engineering, demonstrating the period's masonry construction techniques.

The structure maintains its original function on the Béziers-Neussargues railway line, connecting Marvejols station to Saint-Sauveur-de-Peyre.

Located at an altitude of 800 meters, the viaduct's masonry construction required specific engineering solutions to address the challenging mountainous terrain.
