Canal du Midi constructed supposedly to carry freight . Built some 352 years ago . I believe it was also built because 15 years earlier Spain and France had changed its borders for the last time. The canal would allow for rapid troop movements . photo links https://goo.gl/qdm14A.... .... https://goo.gl/GRr5XV....

My favorite bridge . Built of only stone and still standing after 2,000 years . "Nîmes aqueduct, a 50 km-long (31 mi) structure built by the Romans to carry water from a spring at Uzès to the Roman colony..
