The Gannerie Aqueduct is a historic structure located near Poitiers, France. Built in the 19th century, this stone aqueduct is a key element of the hydraulic network that supplied water to the city and its surroundings. Composed of several elegant arches, it crosses a valley and blends harmoniously into the natural landscape. Today, the Gannerie Aqueduct is not only a testament to the civil engineering of the time, but also a site of interest for heritage lovers and hikers exploring the region.

It's not Roman at all!

There were two reasons why the ancient Roman Empire had already laid underground the pipes necessary for the water supply to cities, and why later centuries also followed this method of construction: firstly, there was no sunlight that would have caused the precious liquid to evaporate; and secondly, the water was protected against any kind of pollution (even if it was just the leaves from the trees in autumn).
