Day 2, Episode 2: Chateau d'Eau

Saturday afternoon we visited the old water tower, which used river water to drive pumps. The pumps took water that was filtered through a nearby meadow and pumped it up into the tower, where it was connected (gravity driven) to 90 fountains around the city, bringing fresh water to the population. We walked into the central square and then parted ways; the students with their correspondents, the teachers with theirs.
