The Roman aqueduct of Vieu (French: Aqueduct romain de Vieu) is a Roman underground aqueduct, which is located in Vieu in the French department of Ain in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
It was classified as a historical monument by the list of 1840.[1]
Characteristics[edit]
A subterranean aqueduct, it stretches from Champagne-en-Valromey to the Adoue fountain in Vieu.
History[edit]
The aqueduct has been the subject of historical studies since the seventeenth century. In 1820, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, who owned a property in Vieu-en-Valromey, also studied the aqueduct[citation needed].
According to R. Chevallier, a member of Robert Bedon's team, the dating of the aqueduct is uncertain, but estimated to be as old as about 150 AD[citation needed].
