Photo "L'aqueduc gallo-romain de Luynes. 47°23'51"N 0°34'07"E L'aqueduc est le seul vestige de l'antique cité de Malliacum. Alimenté par la source dite de La Pinnoire, l'édifice, dont il ne subsiste que 44 piles sur 90 au total, est construit sur un mur continu. La hauteur moyenne des piles est de 8,90 m de la base à la clef ; celles-ci sont en petit appareil sans chaînage de briques (opus incertum). L'intérieur est constitué par un blocage en béton, mortier et pierres ; dans les cintres sont disposées des briques plates et rougeâtres de 32 cm de long, 22 cm de large et 3 cm d'épaisseur. L'édifice aboutit au lieu-dit le Prieuré de Saint-Venant. Un mur subsiste à proximité, pouvant faire penser à des vestiges de thermes. La pente moyenne est de 1,64 m par km, la longueur de l'édifice étant de 1 825 m. (Michel laurencin, in Revue archéologique du Centre de la France. Tome 6, fascicule 3, 1967. pp. 195-204.) www.persee.fr/web/revues/home/prescript/article/racf_0035... The aqueduct is the only remnant of the ancient city of Malliacum.

Alternative Accommodations – Hostels

 

Best Hostels in Luynes

 

Travel is all about experiences, whether you’re trekking across the world or just miles away from home. And while you may think of backpacking students when cheap hostels come to mind, modern-day hostels appeal to a much more diverse group of people. Hostels are traditionally beloved as a great way to meet fellow travelers and as a more affordable option to hotels. They’re the perfect place to rest for the night and then get up and go on your next day of exploring Luynes and beyond.

 

What is the difference between a hostel and a hotel?

 

It’s customary for hostels to contain multiple bunk beds in a dorm-style room to be shared with friends (or strangers). So, can couples stay in hostels? The short answer is yes. Some of the best hostels in the world (and maybe even in Luynes) are private room hostels that feature larger beds and more privacy. There are even bookable accommodations that offer family hostel rooms that provide even more space. Hostels are more commonly found internationally, but USA hostels are beginning to pop up around the country.

If secluded quarters and quiet accommodations are a priority to you during your travels, there are boutique and luxury hostels that offer upgraded private rooms, elevated décor, and higher end amenities. It’s possible to get the affordability and energy of a hostel with some elements of privacy that you’d usually only find by staying in a hotel.
