Fontaine des Bagniers

The Fontaine des Bagniers is distinguished by its placement flush against a wall, where an elegantly rounded stone basin holds water beneath a sculpted medallion of the painter Paul Cézanne. Originally built in sixteen eighty-five at the busy intersection of Rue des Chapeliers and Rue des Bagniers, this fountain functioned as a thermal hot water source for craftsmen in the local district.
