    Hiking

    The aqueduct is 6,822 meters long and has a gradient of only 3 meters. Pierre Paul Riquet had drawn up plans for a colossal aqueduct that could lead to the Chateau de Castries, the waters of the Fongrand spring northwest of the village of Castries, in 1676.

    Mountain biking

    Magnificent work of art, imagined by Paul Riquet, the aqueduct of Castries, imposing work, winds on the ground or in the air. With a drop of 3 meters for a length of 6,822 meters, it led the water to the park of the castle of Castries. The route passes by the mysterious Capelette (small chapel) and crosses the Cadoule at the Tourilles bridge to then reach the ruins of a Templar commandery in Banners. Then we discover Castries and its medieval heart. The trails in this area are awesome!!!

    Almost seven kilometers long, the Castries aqueduct dates from 1760. It was built by Pierre-Paul Riquet, also the originator of the Canal du Midi.
