Hi Adrian
I was in Millau and Oradour-sur-Glane last summer.
Millau..........avoid the official tourist sightseeing locations on either side. I went to one and from that point of view the bridge didn't look anything spectacular. Follow the local roads to the bottom and go underneath as that's where you'll see the most spectacular views. And avoid going over the bridge too because it's just like a normal motorway and you can see absolutely nothing on either side. Remember too that anyone caught stopping on top of the bridge is in SERIOUS trouble with the local gendarmerie!
Oradour-sur-Glane......... a fabulous but brutally sad place to visit. We were there for a whole afternoon and that was quite enough. It isn't a huge place and a number of hours are quite sufficient to appreciate what it has to offer even if you take your time and view it at your leisure. The story of what happened there is fascinating and there is an excellent tourist centre where you watch a short film and buy books etc.
Enjoy your trip!!
Chris
