De mémoire d'homme cette source ne s'est jamais tarie ! Elle alimente les viviers puis les bassins de rouissage du lin, avant de descendre par de multiples canaux aménagés, le fleuve Trieux.

"Elle est située dans le parc du chateau de la Roche Jagu.
La source a un double visage :
De face c’est une espèce de tobogan aquatique moderne dont l’eau s’écoule dans des bassins circulaires.
Le tout est plutût réussi et s’intègre dans la mise en valeur du parc.
Mais si on passe au dessus on découvre la source originelle qui est restée dans son jus.
Impossible de la dater. Le chateau actuel est du 15eme siècle mais il a renplacé un chateau plus ancien du 11eme siècle. La source elle est un peu intemporelle...." (visit link)

(EN) In living memory, this source has never dried up! It feeds the fish ponds and then the flax retting ponds, before descending through multiple developed canals, the Trieux river.
"It is located in the park of the Chateau de la Roche Jagu.
The source has a double face:
From the front, it is a kind of modern water slide whose water flows into circular pools.
Everything is rather successful and fits into the development of the park.
But if we pass above we discover the original source which has remained in its own juice.
Impossible to date. The present castle is from the 15th century but it replaced an older castle from the 11th century. The source is a bit timeless.... (visit link)
