  Aqueduct
de Barbegal
In
this valley two aqueducts run parallel to each other, one
from the 1st, the other from the 4th century. The last
one is the best preserved. Both consisted of 28 big
arches and 8 smaller ones. A grinding installation
was also found.
  Aqueduct de Marly
This
aqueduct, built in 1684, was part of the waterworks
constructed by king Louis XIV to provide the castles and
the gardens
of Versailles and Marly with water. This aqueduct fed
the cascade of Versailles; it uses 13 water weels to
bring the Seine water 163 m higher (to the right: Sisley
/ the aqueduct at Marly,
1874).
