The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La fontaine a été construite en 1822-1823 suivant les plans de l'architecte Louis Nicolas Well, dans le cadre d'un projet global incluant la grande fontaine et d'autres installations hydrauliques. L'ensemble se compose d'une fontaine entre deux abreuvoirs adossés à un lavoir couvert. Celui-ci est une petite halle portée par des piliers en pierre de taille à chapiteaux doriques grecs et sans base, s'inspirant des temples de Paestum. Ce lavoir inaugure une série d'autres lavoirs de même inspiration réalisés dans le département par le même architecte.

The fountain was built in 1822-1823 following the plans of the architect Louis Nicolas Well, as part of an overall project including the large fountain and other hydraulic installations. The ensemble comprises a fountain between two troughs backed by a covered washhouse. This washhouse is a small hall supported by stone ashlar pillars with Greek Doric capitals and without base, inspired by the temples of Paestum. This washhouse inaugurates a series of other washhouses of the same inspiration subsequently built in the department by the same architect.
