Aqueduct du Gier in Lyon
Aqueduc gallo-romain
69005 Lyon 5ème

The Gier aqueduct, built under the Roman Empire in Lyon 5th, is the longest (85 km) of the four ancient aqueducts feeding Lugdunum. Its remains, partially classified, illustrate a masterpiece of hydraulic engineering between the Loire and the Rhône.

Aqueduc gallo-romain
69510 Soucieu-en-Jarrest

The Gallo-Roman Gier canal, built in the second century, is an ancient monument of 86 km from Saint-Chamond to Lyon. Its remains, among the best preserved in France, cross Soucieu-en-Jarrest in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, illustrating Roman engineering for water supply to Lugdunum.

Canal
69700 Saint-Romain-en-Gier

The former Givors Canal, built between 1763 and 1780 in Saint-Romain-en-Gier (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), was a 20 km river track linking the Loire to the Rhône, equipped with 42 locks and 5 water bridges before its burial in 1970.
