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]}.
