What the experts agree on
This 17th-century promenade crowns Montpellier's highest point with a stunning architectural feat: an aqueduct designed to carry mountain spring water to the iconic tower, creating one of the city's grandest avenues honoring Louis XIV.
“At Montpellier's highest point and designed in 1688 by Charles d'Aviler, the promenade is crossed by the St Clement aqueduct which served to carry water from the Lez springs to the water tower.”
