Aqueduc romain de Vieu, Roman aqueduct in Valromey-sur-Séran, France.
The underground tunnel extends 400 meters through rock between Champagne-en-Valromey and the Adoue fountain in Vieu, featuring a 60-centimeter-wide canal.
The aqueduct, built during the second half of the 2nd century CE, remained operational until the late 19th century for regional water supply.
The deep inspection shafts and diverticuli demonstrate Roman technical expertise in hydraulic architecture within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Access to the monument is through Route de Vaux in Valromey-sur-Séran, with restricted areas to maintain structural preservation.
The specus, the main water channel, measures 30 centimeters wide by 15 centimeters deep, with walkways constructed along its course.
