Around a bend in the road, in the heart of the Provencal scrubland, rise the imposing arches of the Aqueduct. These massive blocks of stone bear witness to the power of this structure, which in the 18th century provided the village of Roquebrune with its water supply.
Historically, until the early 18th century, the village's water needs were met by various springs and wells. However, as the need for water grew, the co-lord of Roquebrune, Alexandre de Badier, donated the Cavalières spring to the community in 1774. Following this generous donation, the consuls decided to build the 25-bridge aqueduct to carry water from the spring to the village's old fountain.
The aqueduct network remained in service until 1886, when a pumping system was installed on the Argens plain. This modernisation guaranteed a regular supply of water, whatever the season.
