About
The Aqueduc de Louveciennes (French pronunciation: [akdyk də luv(ə)sjɛn]; Louveciennes Aqueduct), sometimes called the Aqueduc de Marly (Marly Aqueduct), is an aqueduct built in the 17th century under the reign of Louis XIV, located in Louveciennes (now in the Yvelines department, in the western suburbs of Paris). Now out of service, the aqueduct has been listed a monument historique since 1953. It was a part of the hydraulic network intended to provide water for the Château de Marly and the Gardens of Versailles from the Seine river, using a huge pump called the Machine de Marly.
The aqueduct consists of 36 arches. Its length is 643m for a width varying from 2 to 4.4m, and a height from 10 to 20 metres.
