Aqueduc St-Clement

Aqueduc St-Clement

Promenade de Peyrou, Montpellier, France

 

Despite its remarkable similarity to the roman "Pont du Gard", this aqueduct was built in the 17th century. The construction supplied water from the St Clement spring 14 km away to the water tower beneath the Promenade de Peyrou and allowed the embellishment of the city by numerous fountains. The two levels of arches which support the water channel over the last 800 metres have led to the city district beneath receiving the name of "les Arceaux". Beneath its arches can be found an organic market (Tue & Sat mornings), table-tennis tables and regular games of "petanque", all of which benefit from the space and shade created by this imposing structure.
