Viaduc de Saint-Chamas, Railway viaduct in Saint-Chamas, France.
The stone viaduct stretches 385.4 meters long and rises 31 meters high, featuring 49 interlaced circular arches across the Touloubre river.
Completed in 1848 under engineer Gustave Desplaces, the viaduct became an essential part of the Paris-Lyon-Marseille railway line development.
The viaduct structure demonstrates French engineering methods from the 19th century through its crossed vault design and stone construction techniques.
The viaduct remains active on the Paris-Marseille railway line, with direct access from Saint-Chamas train station and public transportation stops.
The structure contains intersecting arches that create a series of ogives, though engineer Paul Séjourné criticized this architectural choice.
