Situated on the banks of the Eure River, the village of Maintenon boasts a peaceful atmosphere and rich heritage. Dominated by its Renaissance castle and famous for its unfinished aqueduct designed by Vauban, the town invites you to stroll. The ancient streets, the banks of the Eure River, and the Louis XIV Canal provide an ideal setting for a break in the footsteps of history.

You pass under the remains of the Maintenon aqueduct. This dates from the end of the 17th century. It was to carry water from the Eure to Versailles to supply the fountains in the garden. After three years of work, the site was interrupted because of the war and the work was never completed.

The monuments were erected around 3,500 BC, on a peninsula at the confluence of the Eure and a stream that has now disappeared. The dolmens were built in sandstone blocks coming from 3 km. The sepulchral dolmen, known as “Dolmen Petit”, was covered with a cairn made of limestone blocks. A dozen people were buried in this dolmen. The other dolmen, known as the “Dolmen du Berceau”, was used for ceremonies. He never sheltered a body. This dolmen has remarkable engravings on two of its pillars. The dolmens have been transformed and closed, covered with a huge mound of earth and stones. source: https://www.megalithesdechange.fr/presentation/

The construction of the aqueduct of Maintenon began in 1686 but it was never finished. Indeed, this work of art intended to supply water to the Palace of Versailles was no longer a priority from 1689. The built part of the aqueduct stretches for 955 meters, more than 28 meters high.
