Garon siphon bridge — Roman aqueduct of the Gier

Highlight • Bridge

This siphon bridge is part of the Roman Aqueduct of Gier, one of the four aqueducts built to supply Lyon with water. Located on the banks of the Garon, this piece of heritage blends perfectly into the bucolic setting.

Bucolic path in the undergrowth. There are many hikers and onlookers there on Sunday mornings. In winter the path can be very muddy.

A magnificent Roman aqueduct very well preserved. A piece of heritage as we rarely see, it's worth the detour!
