Walk along half the path of the aqueduct, which started from Valbonne east which meandered to the old town of Antibes. Departure at the source of the aqueduct, you must follow the Bouillide river and climb on the edge of the path to find an apparent tunnel where the water circulated, Then we take a few tracks of the Valmasque forest in order to see remains of Roman arches, in two places, The route ends at the highway with a piece of aqueduct still clearly visible passing over the Goa river. The aqueduct went up to Valmasque (north of the industrial area) to descend to the roundabout of the three mills, then pass near the St Jean chapel, along the current Saint-Claude path, before lead to the outskirts of the Picasso museum. Excavations on construction sites and in private homes have made it possible to reconstruct the entire route of the aqueduct, but almost nothing else is still visible. For information, a second aqueduct (aqueduct of Fontvieille) started from Biot and served the lower part of Antibes, close to fishermen.
