Aqueduc de Buc, 17th-century aqueduct in Buc, France.
The stone structure extends 580 meters in length and reaches 24 meters in height, featuring two rows of nineteen superimposed arches.
Thomas Gobert designed this water system between 1684 and 1686 to supply the fountains and water features of the Palace of Versailles gardens.
The aqueduct incorporates architectural elements from the Grand Siècle period, with meuliere stone construction and precise mathematical calculations for water flow.
The structure includes a rectangular canal measuring 1 meter wide and 1.91 meters high, covered with stone slabs at its summit.
The attached fontainier house, completed in 1686, served as residence for the water system operator who managed regulation valves.
