FR En sortant du rond-point de l'intersection des routes D31 et D28, on a l'agréable surprise de voir de part et d'autre de la route, 2 murs peints à l'éfigie de la ville de Pernes les Fontaines.
Sur le mur de gauche, les fortifications initiales de la ville, son nom et son blason.
Sur le mur de droite, l'une des fontaines à laquelle la ville doit son nom, un autre blason (sans doute celui d'une famille qui dirigeait la ville autrefois).
La ville doit son nom à ses très niombreuses fontaines (il en reste aujourd'hui 42 dans le centre) et le mur de droite représente l'une d'elle.
Malheureusement une partie du second mur a été repeint en blanc, peut-être pour cacher un tag.
En Leaving the roundabout at the intersection of roads D31 and D28, we are pleasantly surprised to see on both sides of the road two walls painted in the effigy of the town of Pernes les Fontaines.
On the left wall, the original fortifications of the city, its name and its coat of arms.
On the right wall, one of the fountains to which the city owes its name, another blazon (probably the one of a family that once ruled the city).
The city owes its name to its many fountains (there are now 42 in the center) and the wall on the right represents one of them.
Unfortunately a part of the second wall was repainted in white, perhaps to hide a tag.
