20의 루넬-비엘가지 명소 & 주요 장소

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 Vidourle Gates are a flood protection structure near Aigues-Mortes, where the Canal du Rhône à Sète crosses the Vidourle River. During heavy rain, massive flood gates – so-called "vidourlades" – can close here to prevent flooding. The site is easily accessible and a popular destination for walks or bike rides. Circular trails from Aigues-Mortes lead along the canal through a diverse landscape with pine forests, streams, and birdwatching opportunities. The routes are easy to walk, well signposted, and approximately 6–8 kilometers long. Access is free, and parking is available, for example, at the Pont Rouge. Ideal for anyone who wants to experience nature, technology, and a piece of regional history.

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

Portemonnaie du Vidourle - impressive double weir for flood control

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

The adjoining bridge connects Aigues-Mortes to Lunel, La Grande Motte or Le Grau du Roi along the canals as desired.

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.
