Close
Known also as la Méridienne, it is a developmental project with the aim of speeding up and reducing the cost of car travel from Paris southwards, and apart from the Millau Viaduct, it is entirely free for the 335 km (208 mi) between Clermont-Ferrand and Béziers. It was due for completion in spring 2011,[1] but was fully open in December 2010.
South of St. Flour there are excellent views of the Garabit viaduct.
A large portion of the A75 is also part of the European route E11.
