The graceful cobblestones spit out deliciously fresh water. Thirsty people can refresh themselves here at the upper water jets. The bubbling water is then again practical to refresh the neck, neck and face. In other words, a source to look forward to.

The parish church of Saint-Maurice and the covered passage connecting it to the residence known as the Deanery and the garden of the former presbytery, located on the site known as Le Bourg. Historical description A 12th-century building whose nave was restored in the 19th century and an aisle was added. The west façade is distinguished by the fact that it is connected by a 16th-century covered gallery, which spans the street, to a former manor house opposite, known as the Doyenné. The bell tower consists of a powerful square tower, flanked on the north side by a staircase turret, which is pierced in the floor of the bell tower by two pointed arch bays with double archivolts. This tower rises above the bay forming the choir and is supported by pointed arch arcades, formed by concentric arches of rectangular cross-section, which frame a square bay with ribbed vaults. The capitals are decorated with foliage, hooks, signs or fantastic animals. Source: https://pop.culture.gouv.fr/notice/merimee/PA00097778
