This siphon bridge is part of the Roman Aqueduct of Gier, one of the four aqueducts built to supply Lyon with water. Located on the banks of the Garon, this piece of heritage blends perfectly into the bucolic setting.

Fortified medieval village built in the 9th century. You can still see the fortified church, the remains of the Roman aqueduct of Gier and the old priory, next to which there is a fountain with ferruginous water.

Aqueduc Romain du Gier

Highlight • Other

The remains of the Roman aqueduct have been carefully restored, and in addition to the perspective on the work of art, they also present a view of the Monts du Lyonnais, the Monts d'Or and the outskirts of Lyon.

Arches of the Gier Aqueduct – Plat de l'Air

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

The Gier aqueduct is one of the ancient aqueducts in Lyon serving the ancient city of Lugdunum. With its 85 km, it is the longest of the four aqueducts that supplied the city with water, and the one whose structures are the best preserved. It owes its name to the fact that it draws from the sources of the Gier, a tributary of the Rhône. The remains of the aqueduct are subject to multiple protections as historical monuments: classifications in 1875 (Bonnand siphon bridge) 1 on March 20, 19122 (arches) and 1986 (Piles des Crêtes).
