Hello,
Today I'll talk about the aqueduct which is Louveciennes, which is a small town east of Yvelines, separated from the city of Buc (where he is a similar aqueduct, the water Buc, and from the same period, ie late 17th century) by the city of Versailles.
This aqueduct 23 meters high is a historical monument since 1953.
While the machine lift the waters of the Seine is still under construction, it was necessary to provide a tower with tank top to direct water to the reservoirs that feed the castles of Versailles and Marly. The architect Jules Hardouin Mansart, Robert de Cotte and Vivier, realizes this aqueduct. The water flows in a channel at the top lead of a meter wide and two meters deep, with cover slabs. The vaults of the 36 arches are semicircular. The aqueduct is framed by two towers: the great tower, called "tour of the Levant", receives the amount of pipe machine, and the small tower called "Tower of the Juggler", communicates with the water pipe leading under the Juggler , indicated with a lantern in the RN 186.
