Old Mill Fountain
Old Mill Fountain is a square stone fountain, topped with a four-sided tiled roof supported by wooden posts. It feeds a nearby washhouse via a stone channel.
Old Mill Fountain is located in the hamlet of Viel Moulin. It is constructed in stone with a rectangular base and supported by a stone wall topped by well-fitted cut-stone blocks. A graceful timber roof with four faces shelters the fountain. A stone gutter channels water from the fountain into a neighboring washhouse, making the structure both practical and symbolic.
