On the way to Lusignan, the city of the Fairy Mélusine

There were two reasons why the ancient Roman Empire had already laid underground the pipes necessary for the water supply to cities, and why later centuries also followed this construction method: firstly, there was no sunlight that would have caused the precious liquid to evaporate; and secondly, the water was protected against any kind of pollution (even if it was just the leaves from the trees in autumn).

The Béruges aqueduct, near Poitiers, is a Roman vestige dating from the 1st or 2nd century. Built to supply water to the ancient city of Poitiers (Limonum), it extends over several kilometers. Today, it remains visible in segments, testifying to the ingenious know-how of Roman engineers. This one dates from the 19th century. However, walkers do not always know that under their feet is sometimes one of the oldest and most exceptional French aqueducts. Built in the first century by the Romans, it carried water from the Fleury spring, located in Lavausseau, to the ancient "Limonum", today's Poitiers, after a 25 km route with a cleverly calculated but extremely low slope of only 12 cm per kilometer. A work so well thought out that a large part of its route served as a model for another aqueduct, built in 1884, which is still in service. Between Vaugirard and La Raudière, there are several more or less secret and private places where it can be seen, sometimes in very good condition with its entire lower part masonry which surprises by its very smooth and regular trapezoidal appearance and its upper part vaulted with large stones covered with a screed.

Good morning, It's not a Roman aqueduct. This structure, called in the region the "horsetail bridge" (there are actually many in the meadow that it crosses) was built in the years 1880/1884. One of my ancestors actually worked there. It often follows the layout of the old work but should not be confused.
