Friday from a different angle...Viaduc du Blanc

Today we feature the mighty 19th century viaduct that stretches 528 metres over the river Creuse at Le Blanc in the department of Indre (36). The structure is made up of  21 graceful arches all perfectly formed to emulate each other. 

The viaduct originally formed part of the route between Poitiers and Chatereaux but now is given over as a greenway for cyclists and hikers.
