Château des Arcs, Historical monument in Cachan, France.

The Château des Arcs stands at 2 Rue Besson, featuring a Renaissance-style architectural design with three shallow projecting sections on its northern facade.

Claude d'Aligre, treasurer of King Francis I's Menus-Plaisirs, constructed the castle in the 16th century incorporating remnants of a Roman aqueduct into its structure.

The property now functions as a departmental conservatory of music, marking a transformation from its original purpose as a noble residence.

Located at coordinates 48.799136, 2.332632, the monument can be reached through various transportation options and remains open for educational activities.

The building integrates sections of an ancient Roman aqueduct within its walls, connecting modern architecture with engineering from the Roman period.
