Roman Gier Aqueduct path

Start: Peu communal park in Chabanière. The route can be done in the direction Lyon - Saint-Maurice-sur-Dargoire.

The route starts in the village center of Saint-Maurice-sur-Dargoire. Up to Mornant, the itinerary mainly follows hiking trails surrounded by orchards with views of the hills and villages of the Monts du Lyonnais.

In Mornant, the discovery of the aqueduct takes place mainly in the village center with underground sections.

After crossing Saint-Laurent-d'Agny, Taluyers, and Orliénas, you arrive at Soucieu en Jarrest with remarkable parts of the Roman Gier aqueduct: the Gerle chase reservoir is an engineering feat with siphon technology.

The rest of the route proceeds in the Barret valley, a Sensitive Natural Area, with other parts of the aqueduct.

In Chaponost, you reach the plat de l'air site with the longest visible aqueduct section in France with a series of 72 arches.
