    The Eure canal, also called the Louis XIV canal and the Maintenon canal, is an unfinished non-navigable canal1 built by Vauban to supply the royal domain of Versailles with water. Diverted near Pontgouin, not far from Chartres, the water from the Eure was to be transported to the Tour pond, not far from Rambouillet, to supply the royal domain of Versailles. With a planned length of nearly 80 km, its construction began in 1685 and was interrupted 3 years later by the War of the League of Augsburg. At the end of it, despite the work already done and the money spent, the site will never be resumed and the canal will remain unfinished.
