Agree completely on the Bridge- absolutely beautiful (although designed by a British architect of course ;) ) . One thing the French do well is built impressive stuff for 'la gloire', I wish British society would be more supportive of such things rather then just carping at them into oblivion.
The plane is pretty ugly- I'd contend that the wings however (which were built a few miles from where I live) are quite gorgeous :D
Tip of the hat to your British bridge designing architect. It is the most beautiful bit of engineering in recent years. Some of the construction tricks were pretty nifty as well. I think a Spanish engineering team help Eiffel in this area.
