FR Habituellement, un pont permet de passer au-dessus d'un canal d'une route. Là, le pont permet au canal du Verdon de passer au-dessus d'un chemin de randonnée.
Le canal du Verdon est un canal d'irrigation en Provence, construit de 1866 à 1875, pour amener l'eau du Verdon à Aix-en-Provence. Il est progressivement abandonné dans les années 1970, au profit du canal de Provence.
Le long des collines, en fonction du relief, des murs ont été construit pour retenir l'eau, le long du canal afin de ne pas perdre l'eau. Dans ce vallon, plutôt que de suivre le relief, un pont a été construit afin de permettre au canal et à son eau de passer au dessus du chemin.
EN Usually, a bridge is used to cross a road channel. Here, the bridge allows the Verdon Canal to pass over a hiking trail.
The Verdon Canal is an irrigation canal in Provence, built from 1866 to 1875, to bring the water from the Verdon to Aix-en-Provence. It was gradually abandoned in the 1970s in favour of the Canal de Provence.
Along the hills, depending on the relief, walls have been built to retain water, along the canal so as not to lose water. In this valley, rather than following the relief, a bridge was built to allow the canal and its water to pass over the path.
