The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Fontaine en granit dont les amortissements sculptés des rampants de pignons témoignent d'un mélange de tradition médiévale et du caractère de la sculpture ornementale du 18e siècle. Au fond de l'édicule est représentée une tête à perruque formant cul-de-lampe. Les extrémités inférieures des rampants du toit sont terminées par des têtes de chien ou de loup. Au sommet des deux pignons se trouvent les mêmes têtes à perruque adossées. La source provient d'un bassin rectangulaire sous l'édicule. Une rigole conduit l'eau dans un second bassin circulaire. Une autre rigole, dans l'axe de la première, évacue l'eau au travers du mur.

History
Granite fountain whose sculptured finials of the gable slopes bear witness to a mixture of medieval tradition and the character of ornamental sculpture of the 18th century. At the back of the shrine is represented a head wearing a peruke forming a corbel. The lower extremities of the roof slopes are terminated by heads of dog or wolf. At the top of the two gables are found the same heads wearing a peruke set back-to-back. The water source comes from a rectangular basin beneath the shrine. A channel leads the water into a second circular basin. Another channel, in the axis of the first, evacuates the water through the wall.
