Presentation of: Fontaine Saint-Martin
At the foot of the Fontaine Saint-Martin, at the bottom of the hillside, a drinking trough of around 200m² was used to water domestic animals.
This fountain, which is just above the water table, now feeds the lake.
It is topped by a rectangular plaque framed by two volutes. A cornice follows the semi-circular arch of the opening above the central door.
