We r heading to Spain in Feb what is the quickest best route with a stop over for 2 nights in France via the Millau bridge

Have a look at the Viamichelin site. It gives costings as well as route variations

Last March it cost me £20 to cross the Millau bridge. Just sayin'.

Yes - and actually driving over it is quite dull. No real views (well not from a car - I wasn't in the motorhome) it's just a motorway. Enjoyable to look at from a distance though - and there is an interesting visitors centre. We drove underneath it too and visited Roquefort fr some cheese.

Not that I have a clue myself, but don't people generally recommend Tonka's Western Route?

My often used, mostly toll free, route into Spain and to Benidorm in particular.

Talk about scamming!! Class 1 & 2 "vehicles under 2m" class 3 "vehicles over 3m". What about all us between 2m & 3m??
I used to pay 8,90€ I'm certainly not paying 33,80€ to drive over a bridge that you see nothing of. Might as well be paying tolls @ 10c a km.

If you are going that way simply to go over the bridge I wouldn't waste money as you don't see anything at all.

This^^^Even more so if it is A) dark or at night
B) heavy cloud as you will be above it.

It's much better to see it from a distance by going via Millau town itself.

That was the idea of the bridge though to get rid of the nose to tail vehicles through the town.

So driving for 13 more minutes saves me €33.80

true

I think they have overpriced the toll as all the traffic in front of us peeled off to go through Millau, too.

So what was the point in building it? Shot themselves in the foot at those prices.

It's meant to keep all the commercial wagons out of Millau who I suspect are not allowed to simply transit through.

Clearly an error missed during proof reading. The description of Class 2 is just a copy & paste from Class 1.
