L'aqueduc du Château

The original stream originates below the Parc Animalier des Monts de Guéret. The aqueduct, the part modified by man, begins its journey with two stones that divert the water from the stream. The canal runs alongside the road between Le Mas and Sainte-Feyre. It continues on to the Château meadow, where it feeds a fishery from which two irrigation ditches branch off. This watering fertilized the field, which became a hay meadow. This ingenious system for distributing water and supplying villages with water by gravity was practiced in Gallo-Roman times, but there is no written trace of this work. The aqueduct is very well preserved.
