Aqueducts of Arcueil and Cachan, Historical aqueduct system in Arcueil and Cachan, France.
The aqueduct complex consists of three superimposed water bridges spanning the Bièvre Valley, reaching a height of 38 meters with 77 arches.
Marie de Médicis ordered the construction of the first stone aqueduct in 1613 to supply water to her Luxembourg Palace and gardens in Paris.
The aqueduct system demonstrates the evolution of water engineering from Roman times through the Renaissance to the 19th century industrial period.
The modern sections of the aqueduct continue to supply Paris with 145,000 cubic meters of water daily from the Vanne, Loing, and Lunain rivers.
Engineers discovered remains of an ancient Roman aqueduct during the construction of the Médicis aqueduct in the 17th century.
