The Meudon Viaduct, originally known as the Val-Fleury Viaduct and also called Hélène Bridge, is located in the town of Meudon in the Hauts-de-Seine department of France. Constructed as part of the railway line connecting Paris-Montparnasse to Versailles-Chantiers station, the viaduct spans the valley of the Ru d'Arthelon, separating the hills of Meudon from those of Clamart. One of its arches accommodates the Invalides–Versailles-Rive-Gauche line, which opened in this section in the early 1900s and extends south toward Meudon-Val-Fleury station and beyond to Versailles-Château-Rive-Gauche station. This stone or masonry bridge stretches 142.7 metres (468 ft) in length and features seven spans. As of 2010, it holds the distinction of being the oldest railway viaduct still in operation in France.
