Impressive construction

Beautiful view!

Adorable little lake where it's good to have a picnic and swim before getting back on the road!

Beautiful aqueduct built to supply the park and gardens with water.

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.

The aqueduct is 6,822 meters long and has a gradient of only 3 meters. Pierre Paul Riquet had drawn up plans for a colossal aqueduct that could lead to the Chateau de Castries, the waters of the Fongrand spring northwest of the village of Castries, in 1676.
