    Almost 7 km long, the Castries aqueduct dates from 1760. It was built by Pierre-Paul Riquet, also at the origin of the Canal du Midi.

      Everyone knows the Pont du Gard, but the Castries aqueduct, much less well-known, is definitely worth the detour (to say the least). A very beautiful hike (possibly parking nearby) done in bright sunshine in the early afternoon, which allowed us to be in a solitary and dry landscape, but where the impressive arches of the aqueduct unfold majestically. An appreciable tranquility in the middle of the past. Superb photos are possible, and the loop allows you to see the covered conduit bringing the water. Sometimes at ground level and sometimes on the arches (there it is no longer covered), it is obviously no longer supplied. The interest is to stroll afterwards (or before) in the village in order to see the "urban" part of the aqueduct.
