Presentation

Discover the history and workings of a Roman aqueduct, along the longest visible section of Roman aqueduct in France! Come learn how the Romans brought water to the heart of Lugdunum, and discover the building materials used...

The Gier Aqueduct is one of the aqueducts that supplied Lugdunum with water 2000 years ago. Drawing water from the Gier River at Saint-Chamond, it carried water 87 km to Fourvière. Several remains are still visible today. The Plat de l'Air site (Yzeron siphon) is a listed historical monument.
