Nice little shaded Romanesque bridge, allowing you to make a welcome stop between two portions of dodger.

PS: be careful it does not date from the Roman era, but is in Romanesque style, an important nuance!

Very nice hike around Castries today. Unfortunately, you can only see the aqueduct for a short time on this tour. The town of Castries and the castle park are also well worth seeing. The castle itself can only be visited by appointment.
