FR A une époque, la vieille ville n'avait pas de points d'eau. Les femmes devaient aller la prendre et laver le linge aux deux fontaines munies de grands lavoir, à bonne distance du centre (la Bonne Fontaine et la Louette).
Initialement surmontée d'une pyramide, elle-même surmontée d'une boule, cette fontaine est maintenant sous une statue de Jeanne d'Arc.
EN At one time, the old town had no water points. The women had to go to pick it up and wash the linen at the two fountains equipped with large wash-houses, at a good distance from the center (La Bonne Fontaine and La Louette).
Initially surmounted by a pyramid, itself surmounted by a ball, this fountain is now under a statue of Joan of Arc.
