#Bridges
Among bridges of this type it has the fourth-largest main span in France, and when it was built it broke a world record for the 400 metre distance between its two 113-metre-high pylons.
The structure definitely deserves a photo or two, especially with the sun going down, and the place to go for this is the adjacent Plougastel Bridge, which was built during the late-20s and is now restricted to just pedestrian and farm traffic.
