Aqueduct of Luynes, Roman aqueduct in Luynes, France
The Aqueduct of Luynes features a stack of five arches and extends over 1,825 meters through the Valley of the Arennes in Indre-et-Loire.
Built during the 2nd or 3rd century, this Roman water system maintained functionality until the 12th century and underwent repairs under Charles the Simple.
The structure stands as a testament to Roman engineering in northern France, recognized as a historical monument since 1862 for its architectural significance.
Located 1.5 kilometers northeast of central Luynes, the archaeological site provides free access to visitors throughout the year without entrance fees.
The aqueduct's water channel consists of masonry construction rather than lead or terracotta pipes, with a precise slope of 1.5 to 2.9 meters per kilometer.
