    The construction of the aqueduct of Maintenon began in 1686 but it was never finished. Indeed, this work of art intended to supply water to the Palace of Versailles was no longer a priority from 1689.

    The built part of the aqueduct stretches for 955 meters, more than 28 meters high.

        You pass under the remains of the Maintenon aqueduct. This dates from the end of the 17th century.

        It was to carry water from the Eure to Versailles to supply the fountains in the garden.

        After three years of work, the site was interrupted because of the war and the work was never completed.
