Built in 1881, this aqueduct spans the Torchaise stream near Bourgversé. It still provides around 40% of the drinking water for the city of Poitiers today. There are remains of the old Gallo-Roman aqueduct of Fleury. It was built around the 2nd century and was 25 kilometers long, almost entirely underground.

Remains of this aqueduct near Béruges which is worth a visit, be careful it is steep after the aqueduct.
