Fountain wash-house created by Dufour, architect of the district, then reconstructed by Narcisse Perrard, his successor. Circular plan distribution with a neoclassical jet fountain and cast-iron ornaments subsequently lost. The fountain bollard and its square basin straddle the crown of the two concentric basins, the outer one serving as a watering trough and the second as a wash-house. A circular table forms the centre of the arrangement.
