Description

The village wash-house and St Jean fountain at the entrance to the village have retained their original state. Its well is in cut granite. A cross reminds us of the sacred nature of the place. The Fontaine St Jean is reputed never to freeze or run dry. Next to the fountain, the drinking trough and the wash-house form a hydraulic complex, with a precise layout. To preserve its purity, the fountain is always located upstream or separate from the other features. An essential landmark in the village, the water feature symbolizes equal access to one of its most precious commodities: water.
