Beautiful Roman aqueduct on the edge of the cycle path towards Metz.

The aqueduct connecting Gorze to Metz is a Roman aqueduct built at the beginning of the second century. Divodurum (Metz) is the capital of the Mediomatris, at the crossroads of the south-north and east-west axes, i.e. on the Roman roads from Lyon to Trier and from Reims to Strasbourg. The city, which had about 20,000 inhabitants in the second century, needed a supply of spring water to supply the fountains, the three Roman baths, the public latrines and the craftsmen. The exact distribution points are not known because no trace remains (Wikipedia).

BEAUTIFUL BOOK TO DISCOVER

This impressive aqueduct is emblematic of the region. It was built at the beginning of the 2nd century and had the function of transporting drinking water from the source of "bouillons de Gorze" to the thermal baths and the fountain of Metz, formerly Divodorum. The aqueduct was 22 kilometers long at its origin. It spanned the Moselle valley for more than a kilometer. Today, there are 16 arches that can be seen on this site in Jouy-aux-Arches and 7 arches on the side of Ars-sur-Moselle.
