Aqueduc Saint-Clément
A double-tiered arched aqueduct built in the 18th century in imitation of the Pont du Gard, stretching about 800 meters from the Promenade du Peyrou. Visiting is free.
The Saint-Clément Aqueduct was built between 1753 and 1765 to bring spring water 14 kilometers into the city. Its most impressive double-tiered arched section, about 800 meters long, runs west from the water tower on the Promenade du Peyrou to the Assas district. The arcades beneath the aqueduct form a promenade. On Saturday mornings the Assas farmers' market and flea market set up here, which makes good photo material. It is a 5-minute walk from the Arc de Triomphe, and it is open all day for free.
