Brévenne Aqueduct, Roman aqueduct in Lyon, France
The Brévenne Aqueduct extends for 70 kilometers through the French landscape, featuring four tunnels and six water chutes between Aveize and Lyon.
Constructed during the early first century AD under Emperor Claude, this Roman engineering structure transported water from mountain springs to ancient Lugdunum.
The aqueduct remains demonstrate Roman architectural expertise through its rectangular canal design, vaulted structure, and precise mathematical calculations for water flow.
The discovery trail spans 2.47 kilometers with informative signs, starting at Montromant where visitors can access free parking near Rue du Verger.
The aqueduct system included a remarkable 3500-meter siphon reaching depths of 90 meters, enabling water transport across varying elevations.
