Millau’s Viaduct  (Le Viaduc de Millau)
15 meters higher than the Eiffel Tower in  France, the Millau Bridge is 343 meters high,  being the world's highest viaduct. it covers 2.5 km over the Tarn river in the south of France.
It was designed by Michel Virlogeux, head engineer at the Ponts et chaussées (bridges and roads) and  the english architect Sir Norman Foster.



French Polynesia
The Word Polynesia comes from Greek (polus-nesos ) means  many  islands, It’s located in the south Pacific, this particular islands appear in the middle of the ocean, there are thousand  of islands called atolls (atolones), they are islands of coral surround a lagoon  partially or completely. One of the most important, and turistic islands  is Bora Bora famous for its resorts and beautiful beaches. It’s one of the most exclusive destination for famous people. People who habit the island are termed Polynesians.



Both are important, Millau’s Viaduct  for example makes easy the comunication, transportation,  and comercial business, and you can travel long distances in less time. It’s an amazing brigde because it helps to develop this french region.
French Polynesia is a great natural place because it is an exceptional ecosystem that man could never  create, there are a unique coral reefs, flora and fauna, and the ladscapes and the weather are amazing, it’s a perfect destination for vacations, It’s amazing too because are islands in the middle of the Pacific ocean and the atolls form a perfect lagoon where you can swim without  dangerous waves.
In my case I prefer Natural wonders because i like  to enjoy   landscapes, flora and fauna, It is great to see this kind of places, and the French Polynesia is my favorite because I like to swimming and scuba diving, I love to  walk on a beach, and also I like the sea culture.  I think modern marvels are important  and necessary  for humans  but I find that more stressing,because behind that there are comercial interests,  and I prefer the simple life.
