Aqueduc du Loing et du Lunain, Historic aqueduct in Cachan, France.
The Aqueduc du Loing et du Lunain extends across the landscape with grass-covered sections and engineering features designed for water transport to Paris.
The aqueduct, completed in 1900 under architect Charles Wickerscheimer's direction, connects to the Vanne aqueduct near the Fontainebleau forest.
The structure represents early 20th-century French engineering excellence in water management, demonstrating the period's infrastructure development priorities.
Water from the Loing and Lunain rivers takes three days to reach the Montsouris reservoir, following an intricate system of underground passages.
The aqueduct stands above numerous unmapped underground quarries extending three kilometers, requiring specific reinforcement work to maintain structural stability.
