These mobile aqueducts constitute a unique system in the world, by their construction techniques and their hydraulic characteristics. Consisting of a tangle of gates, toothed crowns and chains, they allow the waters of the Libron in flood to pass over the canal in an artificial bed, formed of metal caissons suspended from mobile carriages.

Canal assez propre, quelques sentiers de balades. Il est très sympa de le suivre en famille jusqu'aux écluses.
