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 .

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.. Built in the 1st century AD, the Pont du Gard is the highest of all Roman aqueduct bridges and is the best preserved" https://goo.gl/SSyq4d 190 k
