Edit The ancient aqueducts of Lyon supplied the Gallo-Roman city of Lugdunum. Located largely on Fourvière Hill, the city reached an altitude of 300 meters (compared to 160 meters for the lower town on the banks of the Saône). Furthermore, few springs emerged from the hill, and none above the Trion threshold. In order to provide drinking water throughout the city, it was necessary to draw water from the nearby mountain ranges (Monts d'Or, Monts du Lyonnais, Pilat massif) via a system of aqueducts.

Magnificent golden stone village overlooking the valley

Beautiful downhill curves as you leave Charnay.

The Gier Aqueduct is one of the aqueducts that supplied Lugdunum with water. Capturing water from the Gier at Saint-Chamond, in the Loire, it transported water over 86 km to Fourvière. Several remains are still visible today, among others in the towns of Brignais and Chaponost. On the Plat de l'Air Site, you will discover 72 arches still standing out of the 92 that carried the canal in Roman times. You will understand, thanks to the remains on site (flushing tank and rampant) how the Yzeron siphon worked, allowing you to cross the Yzeron Valley, one of the many natural obstacles to have stood in the way of the aqueduct. This site, listed since 1900, which invites you to take a beautiful journey through time, is worth the detour!

Small town in the Monts du Lyonnais located 30 km from Lyon, beautiful view of the Lyon metropolitan area on a clear day. See the medieval site of Rochefort

The Chateau de Charnay area offers excellent mountain biking opportunities, with trails winding through the picturesque Beaujolais countryside. Located in the Rhône department, the chateau itself is a classic medieval fortress with golden stone walls that are a reminder of the region’s history. You can stop and have a coffee while enjoying the village atmosphere.
