L’aqueduc de Fontanières : un cinquième aqueduc romain à Lyon ? by Jean-Yves Barbier

“…Within this transitional zone, the steep hillside at the foot of which flows the Saône, downstream from and at its confluence with the Rhône in Antiquity, extends from west to east between the communes of Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon (Metropolis of Lyon) and La Mulatière (Metropolis of Lyon) around a north-south road built into a ledge that follows, mid-slope, the direction of the Narbonne road that provided access to Lugdunum from the south. Facing east, this steep slope is known as the Balme de Fontanières and, thanks to the complex history of its geological formation, it offers abundant water resources, as evidenced by the resurgences and catchments from various periods in the vicinity of the eponymous road.The Romans could neither have ignored nor neglected the availability of these nearby resources, especially as to the north and west of the town, they had been forced to develop the remarkable network of four aqueducts spanning over 200 km long –including those of the Gier, Mont d’Or, Yzeron and Brévenne rivers– which captured the attention of renowned researchers such as G. …”
