FR Si Barjols a développé sa notoriété autour de ses anciennes tanneries, il n’en est pas moins de ses multiples fontaines et lavoirs que l’on peut découvrir au gré d’un circuit d’une durée d’une heure dit "des fontaines".

La particularité de cette huitième fontaine est d’être le monument aux morts de Barjols. Cet ensemble sculpté a été réalisé par Jules Récubert en 1922 sur une fontaine déjà existante. Le sculpteur y a représenté les soldats souriants partant à la guerre d’un côté de la fontaine, et de l’autre, les hommes revenant, marqués par les combats. La plupart des personnages sont de véritables portraits de barjolais morts pour la patrie.


Blason fr ville Barjols (Var)
EN If Barjols has developed its reputation around its old tanneries, it is none the less its multiple fountains and laundries that can be discovered at the discretion of a circuit of a duration of one hour called "fountains" .

The particularity of this eighth fountain is to be the monument to the dead of Barjols. This carved ensemble was made by Jules Récubert in 1922 on an already existing fountain. The sculptor represented the smiling soldiers going to war on one side of the fountain, and on the other, the men returning, marked by the fighting. Most of the characters are real portraits of barjolais dead for the homeland.
