    In the Barret valley, the siphon bridge spans the Garon and links Brignais to Chaponost. This bridge is part of the Roman Aqueduct of Gier, one of the four aqueducts created to supply Lyon with water. Originally, ten lead pipes stood on this bridge. Operating according to the law of communicating vessels, the siphon bridge was at the time a technical feat that required extensive knowledge in the field of hydraulics.

      Very well preserved remains of the siphon bridge of the Roman aqueduct, with a very educational explanatory panel.
