Hero Image for Aqueduct de Maintenon [Oct 2021]

This album includes select shots from Maintenon, which is a small town in North-Central France. The most interesting attraction there is the aqueduct (aqueduc) built by Louis 14 (canal de Maintenon) with the intention to feed the fountains in Versailles. Unfortunately, the best-preserved section is fenced off and made into a gold course.
