Aqueduc de l'Avre, 19th-century aqueduct in Montreuil, France
The Aqueduct of Avre spans 750 meters across the Eure Valley, featuring 79 arches that form a continuous water transportation system.
Built between 1891 and 1893 under engineer Fulgence Bienvenüe's direction, the aqueduct was designed to supply Paris with drinking water from distant sources.
The structure represents a significant example of French industrial heritage, demonstrating the engineering capabilities of the late 19th century.
The aqueduct, managed by Eau de Paris, continues to deliver 80 million liters of water daily, contributing to 10% of Paris's water consumption.
The water flows entirely by gravity through the 102-kilometer system, as the source elevation exceeds the Saint-Cloud reservoir by 40 meters.
