On Rue de Laval, in Vendémian, a small cast-iron fountain offers a welcome water point on the route. Its rounded back is adorned with relief decoration: a bearded mascaron amidst foliage, an animal head from which the water flows, and then a bouquet of reeds and flowers. The semi-circular basin, protected by a grate, is bordered by a leaf frieze. Water is obtained by turning the black knob placed at the top.
