Balouvière Aqueduct, 19th century aqueduct in Laudun-l'Ardoise, France.

The stone and brick Balouvière Aqueduct stretches 62 meters across a dry stream valley with three tiers of arches supporting a water channel.

Built in 1872, this water transport structure was designed to supply drinking water to Laudun's 2,338 residents through eight fountains and two water troughs.

The design of this provincial aqueduct reflects the influence of Roman engineering principles, particularly those used in the nearby Pont du Gard.

Visitors can reach the aqueduct through a 10-minute walk from the village center, with parking available at Rue Florian and Rue Vincent Faita intersection.

The water source for this aqueduct originates 2.85 kilometers north at Caesar's Camp hill base, creating a gravity-fed water distribution system.
