Louveciennes aqueduct with a 1 m wide lead channel at the top of the structure, used by water treatment plants
Built by Hardouin-Mansart, de Cotte and Vivier at the end of the 17th century, the edifice directed water from the Seine, pumped by the famous Machine de Marly, to the reservoirs that fed Versailles' ponds and water features. This is one of the finest remnants of the greatest hydraulic work of its time, which left its mark on the region's physiognomy. Its 36 semicircular arches tower over the commune, with massive towers at each end. At the top, the slab-covered lead canal is 1 m wide and 2 m deep.
