[FR] Le pont-aqueduc du Gargalon est le plus important.
Le trajet de l'aqueduc est en majeure partie souterrain, sauf à l'approche de Fréjus dont il aborde le point le plus haut à une altitude de 34 m.
[EN] The slope of the conduit is gentle here, about 0.7%.
The Fréjus roman aqueduct is 42 km long, with a difference in altitude between the highest spring of Neïssoun and the castellum aquae in the city of 481 m. The aqueduct runs mostly in a covered conduit for 36.4 km and for 1.8 km on bridges and 500 m on walls. Large parts of the aqueduct are still well preserved.
