The Aiguille Aqueduct (French: Aqueduc de l'Aiguille) is one of several aqueducts on the Canal du Midi. In Puichéric France, it carries the canal over a small stream, the Rigole de l'Etang. It is one of three original aqueducts created by Pierre-Paul Riquet during the building of the canal from 1667 to 1681.[1]
