Viaduc des Fauvettes, Railway viaduct in Gometz-le-Châtel, France.
The Viaduc des Fauvettes spans 221 meters across the valley, reaching a height of 34 meters with stone pillars supporting multiple arches.
Built in 1913 for the Paris-Chartres railway line, the viaduct operated for nine years until financial difficulties led to the closure of the route.
The structure appears in French television productions, including episodes of Falco and Joséphine Ange Gardien, representing industrial architecture in media.
The viaduct offers more than 100 climbing routes with difficulty ratings from 3c to 7c, accessible from both the valley floor and upper level.
Following restoration in 2004, the formerly damaged vault transformed into an outdoor sports facility while maintaining its original architectural elements.
