The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La fontaine publique, adosssée au mur d'une maison de la place publique, date de la fin du 17e siècle. Elle est de composition très simple ; le cartouche ne porte plus d'amoiries ; la marche, qui dégageait la vasque, a disparu du fait de l'exhaussement de la voie.

History
The public fountain, set against the wall of a house on the public square, dates from the end of the 17th century. It is of very simple composition; the cartouche no longer bears any coat of arms; the step, which exposed the basin, has disappeared due to the raising of the road level.
