Jean investigating the aqueduct which runs between Guzargues and Castries. Not a bad bit of construction just to keep the chateau gardens watered!
Some of the archways of the aqueduct. A few battalions of soldiers were brought in to do the work and for a while the water flowed straight to the chateau. It took the French Revolution to convince the owner that it might be in his best interests to share some of the water with the locals!
An 18th century manhole cover/inspection plate! The channel is still in remarkably good condition and there is a keen organisation who work hard to keep it open and free from undergrowth.
The village square in Guzargues. This charming little village is the source of the water which flowed to Castries. The story goes that the man who owned the water source was convinced to share it with payment of a pair of gloves.
