Remains of the water supply network dating from the 12th century.
Villers-Cotterêts is a city without water. Elisabeth of Vermandois, wife of Philip of Alsace Count of Flanders, decided in 1182 to conduct the waters that deaf in certain points of the forest of Retz, called "Les Pleurs de la Coste de Faicte de Rest".
This network consisting of pipes, pottery, manholes with buffers (also called copings or pots), doors, aqueducts or vaults was classified as a Historic Monument on July 29, 2013.
By following the hike "La Salamandre", discover this network that supplied water to the castle and then the city of Villers-Cotterêts for nearly 700 years.
