Bonjour

Its inventor was Marc SEGUIN.
Will it serve as a model for the Brooklyn Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Akashi Bridge in Japan.
It passes over the river Cance, where was manufactured until the beginning of the 20th century, silk, leather, paper.

Thank you my friend. After working in all phases of the construction industry for 45 years I find this one especially intriguing. Beautifully done. The hand held shots worked very well. The results you are getting from this camera are the best I have seen.

Very, very interesting, and what a pretty spot! It looks totally abandoned, it is fairly remote?

Thank you for loving my work.
The reconstruction was complicated because no one knew how to make the cables in tight wire.
But as the human being is persevering, he arrived there and the result is bluffing.

All factories closed in the 1960s
Annonay is the closest town to 5 kms
The buildings are almost all in ruins because there was a fire.
Merci d'apprécier !!
