🗧️ Fontenay aqueduct

The Fontenay aqueduct, also known as Aqueduc du Cher, is a largely underground aqueduct that helped supply water to the ancient city of Caesarodunum, alongside springs, wells, and another intramural aqueduct. It owes its most common name to a locality near Bléré, where its starting point was located, some 25 kilometers east-southeast of Tours, close to a main spring; the water table from which it springs is still exploited in the 21st century. The aqueduct was also fed by several smaller springs along the way.
