Beautiful view!

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.

The Castries Aqueduct winds through the bush landscape and offers beautiful walks in the hinterland.

A magnificent and impressive structure, numerous paths and hiking trails with trees and shade nearby

Rather to be done on foot (portage for the bike, except perhaps with a mountain bike via the track not the wooden staircase)...but superb place with a clear 360° view! "Near the communes of Montaud and St Drézéry to the north of Montpellier, on the hill of Grand Devès at an altitude of 212m, the Germans have installed a radio detection and observation station in the Montpellier sector. There is a base there which was to support a pylon but which was recovered and modified by France Telecom, as well as defense and infantry positions protecting a barracks made of dry stones, perforated orange bricks, sheet metal and wood. The station will be occupied by around ten soldiers and supplied by the inhabitants of St Drézéry, it will be destroyed by fire when the Germans leave in August 44." source: https://sudwall.superforum.fr/t9414-centre-de -detection-of-grand-deves-montaud-34

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.

A grandiose and magical place, forged by more than 2000 years of rock quarrying using an unchanged manual method, hundreds of cubic meters of stone quarried there were used in particular to build the Pont de Sommières, then later in Aigues-Mortes and Vigan .

Another very nice walk we did on Friday March 10 on the coast a lot of wind on the spot really very little
