The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Fontaine du 15e siècle adossée à un ancien oratoire, vendue comme bien national à la Révolution. Au 18e siècle, la chapelle fut allongée en y englobant la fontaine qui, depuis ce temps, se trouve en sous-sol, accessible par un soupirail de cave. Le couronnement a été amputé d'une partie de son gâble au début du 20e siècle, et les sculptures ont été martelées. La partie conservée présente des traces de peinture du 15e siècle entourant la niche de la statue de la Vierge. Tympan décoré d'arcatures rampantes, appuyé sur deux clochetons aux extrémités, et décoré de crochets et d'un fleuron sculptés.

History
Fountain of the 15th century abutting an old oratory, sold as national property at the Revolution. In the 18th century, the chapel was lengthened by enclosing the fountain which, since that time, has been found in a basement, accessible by a cellar ventilation hole. The crowning was cut off from part of its gable in the early 20th century, and the sculptures were hammered. The preserved part presents traces of 15th-century paint surrounding the niche of the statue of the Virgin. Tympanum decorated with rampant arcading, resting on two small bell turrets at the extremities, and decorated with crockets and a sculptured ornamental flower.
