[01] French envoy visits Ch.Trikoupis bridge
New French Ambassador to Greece Christophe Farnaud visited on Thursday
the Rio-Antirio bridge, officially called Charilaos Trikoupis, linking
the town of Rio on the Peloponnese to Antirio on mainland Greece.
Thierry Puy, Gefyra S.A. managing director, welcomed the French envoy
who was briefed on technical details and function methods of the
bridge, which was built by a Greek-French consortium led by the French
Vinci group and inaugurated in mid 2004.
"I have particularly been impressed by the high quality of this project
which unifies aesthetics with technological achievements and utility
for users," Farnaud said, adding that the cable-stayed bridge "is a
special symbol of the excellent cooperation that can be developed by
Greeks and French in any sector they wish."
