Its 17th century Saint-Clément aqueduct spans the "Les Arceaux" (The Arches) neighborhood and it was used to direct water to the city from the Saint Clément spring located 8.6 miles away.
The aqueduct has (obviously) become a staple of the city's geography over the centuries and is an integral architectural feature in the lives of Montpellier's citizens. It is dressed up with classy lighting showing off its characteristic features, while also serving as shelter for many local pétanque playing fields.
