There were two reasons why the ancient Roman Empire laid the necessary underground pipes for the water supply to cities, and why later centuries followed this method of construction: firstly, there was no sunlight that would have caused the precious liquid to evaporate; and secondly, the water was protected from any kind of pollution (even if it was just the leaves from the trees in autumn).

Remains of this aqueduct near Béruges which is worth a visit, be careful it is steep after the aqueduct.

The aqueduct, or what remains of it, can be seen on a hiking trail very close to the old town.

View of the Cistercian abbey, right next to the bridge over the Boivre. The abbey cannot be visited.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could easily be replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order, for example, to grind grains into grain. There are essentially two different ways to drive water mills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water flow is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades, with this design there is greater efficiency due to natural gravity.

Very nice fording.

Built in 1881, this aqueduct spans the Torchaise stream near Bourgversé. It still provides around 40% of the drinking water for the city of Poitiers today. There are remains of the old Gallo-Roman aqueduct of Fleury. Built around the 2nd century, it was 25 kilometers long and almost entirely underground.
