REMAINS OF THE ROMAN AQUEDUCT OF GIER
Go there and contact
Aqueduct which supplied Lugdunum, and collected the waters of the Pilat massif from Yzieux in the Loire.
Built under Emperor Claudius around 40 A.D., it is the longest - 85 km - of the 4 aqueducts that supplied Lyon. It drew water from the Pilat massif at Yzieux in the Loire, crossing the Mornant plateau to reach Lyon at Saint-Irénée. Beautiful remains can be seen at several sites in Mornant, notably on the RD63 between Mornant and Saint-Sorlin, with 3 arches, a cross-section of the underground canal near boulevard du Général de Gaulle and a manhole used to maintain the pipes.
