3 reviews of Fontaine d'Eau Chaude

Vegetation and hot water

The Fontaine d'Eau Chaude, is also called the green fountain, because it is always covered with vegetation. Built in 1667, it was first decorated with a newt, but was destroyed by bandits in the seventeenth century. In 1670, four angels holding up a pile of stone were aggregated.
