At the end of September 2018 the Friends of the Garabit viaduct celebrated 130 years since Gustave Eiffel’s steel giant entered service: vintage cars and period costume, the Historic Monument plaque unveiled, the train pulling into Garabit station, and a painting competition whose theme was, of course, the viaduct.

Caroline Pons took part with « Garabit », her first landscape, painted for the occasion.

« Cette belle journée ensoleillée a connu un grand succès populaire. »
