The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'usage de ces eaux ferrugineuses remonte fort loin. Au 17e siècle, il y avait quatre sources d'eau ferrugineuse qui s'écoulaient dans un bassin découvert (l'eau était conduite par deux canaux parallèles). La réputation de ces eaux semble oubliée en 1793. Au début du 19e siècle, le nouveau propriétaire fait réparer les bassins et construire un pavillon de plan rectangulaire au-dessus, puis obtient l'autorisation d'exploiter la source en 1819 (une source d'eau claire, l'autre d'eau ferrugineuse). Présence de graffiti de bateaux.

History
The use of these ferruginous waters dates back very far. In the 17th century, there were four sources of ferruginous water which flowed into an open basin (the water was conducted by two parallel channels). The reputation of these waters seems to have been forgotten by 1793. At the beginning of the 19th century, the new owner had the basins repaired and constructed a rectangular-plan pavilion above, then obtained authorization to exploit the source in 1819 (one source of clear water, the other of ferruginous water). Presence of boat graffiti.
