A metre-wide aqueduct that collected rainwater on the Saclay plateau and carried it to Versailles.
Louis XIV created an aqueduct that collected rainwater on the Saclay plateau, then crossed the Bièvre valley before ending up in the reservoirs of the Château de Versailles, which were the Montbauron and Parc-aux-Cerfs distribution basins. To support its crossing of the Bièvre, the Royal Normandy Regiment built the Grand Pont de Buc between 1684 and 1686. The lower storey is buried in the road embankment, while the upper storey, which is visible, comprises 19 arcades, each with 9 m openings and 21 m high. Classified as a historic monument in 1952.
