Les piles intra muros de l’aqueduc du Gier, rue Roger-Radisson à Lyon by Éric Bertrand

“…This complex and unusual architectural layout for the aqueduct has prompted new hypotheses regarding its integration into the ancient urban fabric. For example, the bevelling of the pier found in the 18th century and of the buried structures excavated in 2018, could indicate the existence of a ramp designed to distribute water from the Gier (partially or totally) at local scale. …”
