C'est pas sorcier was a Tv program initially made for the kids to explain simply and clearly with small models. Even as an adult I have learnt many things with it and you can show it to your kids with no worries. It was even shown by French science teachers to their students in high school

[@ailleurd]

One of the my favourite programs. I have discovered a lot of science. I am now physician. Merci

[@RaginMunchkin]

Agreed! Hands down one of the best programs ever on French TV

[@antoinebeaulieu2017]

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]

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

As someone living close to this bridge I must recomand something to all people passing by: when you go south just drive on the bridge as you must do it at least once. 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.

"Eiffel" is now a company (and there's also some "sub companies" like Eiffage, i worked for them a decade ago) Le viaduc à pris un peu moins de 3 ans pour être achevé.

[@shantyshin383]

Love your vidéos and love this one as well ! A little help for your french learning journey, god sir ! (In the order of the video) • "C'est pas sorcier" means litteraly "that's not (some sort of) sorcery", but the real meaning is "it's not that difficult". It was a TV learning show fo kids in the 90's 2010's. It talked about a lot of things, culture, food, body, technology, etc. • Les "crochets" et les "bouchons" liktteraly means "hooks" and "caps". In traffic, and travels, "crchets/hooks" means that you take a detour on your otherwise straigth route, and "bouchons/caps" means a cluster on the route. When you hear someone say that "une route ou un quartier est bouchonné.e" it's that it's clustered and so, slowed • "Béton" is "concrete" • "Creuse" is the feminine version of "creux" which both mean "hollow" as you guessed • "Sommet" is the highest point of something. The "sommet" of a tree, a castle, a mountain, or even "le sommet de la tête" le highest point of the head • "Bitume" is "bitumen" according to google translate

[@jean-Pierre-bt8xw]

The bridge was issued a month before the date, and in the contract, it was noted that the fine was 30 000 € (35 000 $) every late day. 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.

(They built : eiffel tower, NY and Paris statues of liberty, and many bridges in Europe, Africa, Asia...).

Crochet c'est quand ont doit faire des déplacement qui ne sont pas direct Dans ce cas Paris Marseille c'est direct, mais pour aller vers Toulouse il faut changer de direction . Bouchon c'est quand il y a trop de véhicule qui emprunte la même autoroute s'il y a trop de véhicules et donc ils s'arrêtent ils font comme le bouchon de la bouteille qui empêche le liquide de passer.

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.

[@napsiuslebelche5846]

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)

[@chucku00]

"Go! à Millau!" Celle là c'est limite une private joke, même pour beaucoup de français. 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. Current Millau viaduct toll price for a car : 14€ (from june 15 to spetember 15), 11€ otherwise. Construction time : 3 years.

Hello, bonjour from France. Time to build the Viaduc de Millau is 2 years. The inauguration was in 2003 and in service one day after. Have a good day 🇫🇷. Viaduc = giant bridge under valley 😉
