Saint-Chamond

Home Route and description Map Saint-Chamond

The Gier Aqueduct runs for 12km solely across the commune of Saint-Chamond, between the water-source above Moulin Combat and its departure towards l’Horme near Chapelle du Fay.

Over 30 sites have been identified in the commune, mostly at the time of the construction of a motorway bypass, which destroyed a certain number of them.

It was found notably under the former Izieux dye-works, where it had been used as a passage for industrial pipelines.

It was also seen at the Varizelle shopping centre (Leclerc, Leroy Merlin, Gamm vert), where a maintenance shaft was brought to light during preventive excavations.

The Aqueduct crosses the communes of L’Horme, La Grand’Croix, Lorette, Cellieu, Saint-Romain-en-Jarez, and Valfleury before arriving at Chagnon.
