Aqueduct Buc

Yesterday I went next to a historic aqueduct not very far from home and yet I did not know then I started returning to sail on the net in search info on this huge building that seemed to be full of history and experience and that's what I found:


The Buc aqueduct is built on the orders of Louis XIV to fuel tanks brand new Palace of Versailles. It measures 580 meters in length to 21 meters high and has 19 arches. To overcome this lack of water, the king ordered that initially develop a "machine" such as that of Marly, which would pump the Bievre. But the experiment has failed, he decided to build a large bridge over the river to get water to the ponds and Saclay Hole Salt (to Toussos-le-Noble). The construction lasted two years, the foundations of over 20 feet deep are provided to support the arches, which are extended on both sides by an underground aqueduct.

Castle Taurus

Today I focused closer to a castle very much its original location (built on an island) and by its history (it must be said that by his name, too). It is the Chateau
Taurus :

This castle-shaped stone vessel is a jewel of Heritage Finistère and Brittany, it is located on the Bay of Morlaix

Born a collective will to protect themselves from the English threat, the castle was built in 1542 on the rocky island of Taurus, on the initiative of residents and shopkeepers in the town of Morlaix. In the eighteenth century, Louis XIV has transformed by Vauban. The building was greatly extended to house now housing the soldiers and officers, two dungeons, a canteen, a kitchen, a chapel and 11 bunkers.

In 1721, the castle was diverted from its mission of defense to assume the duties of prison.

Laid up in 1890, the castle Taurus turns into a summer residence before being invested by the DCA during the German War World.
In 1960, the fort found civilian use until 1980 and hosts a sailing school. Abandoned, the monument is deteriorating rapidly. By 1989, public opinion and mobilize local communities, a new project for the building is running well. In 1996, the state allocates 17 million francs to begin its restoration. A cultural and tourism for the public opening is then developed by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Morlaix and its partners. 2006 will mark the completion and the start of a renaissance for this strong historical witness of the Bay of Morlaix.
