    Your reactions are always nice and interresting :) Some corrections/explanations :
    - At one point in the video you mistook "sommet" for "ciment" : the "little voice" said "sommet" = summit (the top of the pile) while you heard "ciment" = cement
    - "Ciment" = cement / "Béton" = concrete
    - Gustave EIFFEL built the Eiffel Tower around 1889. He's long dead but he founded a construction company by his own name that still exist and is, as a matter of fact, one of the best, state of the art construction company in France. The man you saw was an engineer.project director in this company ;)
    - "C'est pas Sorcier" was a very famous educational TV show in France, talking about all kind of subjects (scientific, historical, geographical and so on). It means "it's not difficult to understand" (literally "it's not sorcery", as you guessed)
    - YES, it's an americcan truck they are driving in the show ;) We usually don't build these models in Europe because we don't have as long distances to cross as in the USA or Australia (so the truckers need some confort but not a large cabin as in american trucks), plus many areas in Europe cannot accomodate such long and large trucks, even though a large portion of the roads they take are freeways, it's not alwways the case : the drivers often have to pass near small villages on smaller roads with narrower turns etc.

    • @biniou14
      @biniou14 2 місяці тому +7

      the style of trucks used in Europe also comes from regulation : the total length of the truck is limited, so if you use a tractor with a long nose, you have to use a shorter trailer, meaning less payload, meaning lower cost effectiveness

      He's wrong about that. There are crazy projets in the US which are build rapidly. The tower replacing the twin towers was a specific case and political. Some people wanted a memorial without rebuilding a tower. Others wanted to qyickly rebuild a tower. That's why it took so long.. not easy to build something where 3000 peoples died

    26:10 "directeur de projet Eiffel" - Eiffel today is a steel construction company - when creator Gustave Eiffel was alive in the 19th/early 20th century, it made the inner structure of the Statue of Liberty, truss bridges, train stations as well as the famous tower (which was a billboard for his skill 😁).

    But when you come back, take the millau exit just before the bridge. You will not only save money but you will also see the best view of the valley and the bridge when you drive down to millau from the larzac. And there are no more "bouchons" anymore.

And the investment was fully amortized in approximately 3 years :) I have passed 3 times on this bridge, we pay the toll for the highway globally and there's not specific toll anymore ;) The money it is doing, serves now to the refection of the road and the maintenance of the bridge too.

    The TV show diffused science popularisation.
    in France, we also have 2 guys that work for 19 that do nothing ^^. But for that kind of big job, people are a little more serious ^^
    "bouchons" is a word used when the traffic is too dense the cars stopped and provoke a long slow queue
    "crochets" is serpentine little roads in mountains
    "béton" is concrete
    "ciment" is cement

    We have a family house in the Cévennes at 40 kilometers away, this viaduct is HUGE, especially when you are at the bottom of the valley. The word you did not understand at 13:24 is « sommet » wich means summit, béton = concrete, ciment = cement, bitume = bitumen. I am impressed by your level in french, I would like to have the same in english.

    The time constraint was also very strong for the engineers of the Effeil company (yes the company of Gustave Effeil who built the tower in 1889) the construction site started in October 2001 and it was finished in December 2004 with more than 2 months ahead of schedule (it must be said that a late penalty of 180,000 Euros was planned for each day of delay). The bridge paid for itself in less than 3 years despite a cost of 400 million Euros.

      Cement (ciment) and concrete (béton) are not the same thing
      Cement is the basic binder. Mortar is a mixture of cement with sand and other components. Concrete, on the other hand, is a mixture of cement, sand and gravel.
      Bitume is Asphalt

    Bonjour.
    Faire le pont signifie aussi prendre un long weekend.
    Exemple :
    On ne travaille pas le samedi et le dimanche en France.
    Si le jeudi est un 14 juillet c'est un jour où l'on ne travaille pas car c'est la fête nationale française.
    Vous pouvez faire le pont si vous posez une journée de repos le vendredi 13, vous avez 4 jours de repos consécutifs. Vous faites le pont.

    Vous pouvez utiliser les sous-titres avec traduction anglaise automatique, ce n'est pas idéal mais j'ai pu voir que ça traduit correctement "crochet" et "bouchon" par "detour" et "traffic jam" en tenant compte du contexte.

    A lot of interesting French expressions in this show for you! "Faire le pont" is when you take a vacation day on either the day before or after a bank holiday that falls on a Thursday or Tuesday, creating a full four-day weekend. "C'est pas sorcier" means "it's quite simple." It's an expression that basically means there is a rational or scientific explanation for an event or thing.

    Hi D !
    This episode of C'est pas Sorcier ! (that roughly means the same as "It's not rocket science !") bring back a lot of memory from my childhood. Back in days, my parents used to go on holidays, with me and my lil' sis', in a small village narby Montpellier. Until the Millau bridge was finished we had to pass by the town of Millau and at the begining of July, the traffic jam (at this time there was only one main road crossing Millau) was so important that it could take up to two hours from the entrance to the exit.
    To not being annoyed with excited childs, so many parents were dropping off their childs at the entrance of the town, let them play with others in the park that's nearby the exit of the town (by the water, if I remember well), and honk them when their car is nearby the exit, so childs can hop up onboard.

    If you ever meet a French millenial with a passion for sciences, those guys are the reason.
    BTW "C'est pas sorcier !" is a French idiom that can pretty much be translated as "It's not rocket science!", though that show has obviously had it's share of episode about actual rockets!
    (Literally it means 'it's no sorcery')

    when we say "hook" we are talking about a bend, a deviation of the initial road.
    when we say "cork" it's an expression to say that on the road things are not moving forward because of too many cars (highway traffic jam)

New ones every week 7on totally different subjects for more than 20 years!

    For the crochet/bouchon thing, faire un crochet is taking an alternative route (so it would look like a hook instead of a straight line), and a bouchon, literally a cork, means a traffic jam (can also be called embouteillage. Yes, like a bottle)
