CdF Paris - Orléans poster featuring the Auvergne, 1920s


A reader may know if the viaduct depicted is based on a real one.

This is the Barajol Viaduct over the Petite Rhue valley in Auvergne Volcanoes Park, in the department of Cantal. The second tallest masonry viaduct in Europe, it is down the track from Gustave Eiffel's older and more famous wrought-iron Garabit Viaduct.

Modern view here.
