Tour of the Provençal villages

Product Description

The fountains of Provence

In the past, well before water arrived at the tap of each fireplace, public fountains were the only places where drinking water was supplied, along with wells and streams.

Often located in the centre of a square, they were then a major place of village sociability, a place of exchanges, discussions and sometimes conflicts.

True heart of the villages of Provence, source of water and freshness, place of conviviality, they are preserved and restored today as monuments.
