This is The Millau Viaduct, a cable-stayed bridge in southern France. It's construction broke three world records, including the tallest vehicular bridge in the world. I reaches 1,125 ft (343 metres) - a little shorter than the Empire State Building and slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower.

It was opened in December 2004 and is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and Barcelona. You may have seen this bridge in a scene from the movie Mr. Bean's Holiday.
