Palette Fountain
Palette Fountain is a circular stone fountain house covered by a traditional Burgundian stone dome topped with a carved finial. Its protected opening, framed with cut stone and ironwork, once provided clean water to the Palette district of Sennecey-le-Grand.
Palette Fountain is a unique circular fountain structure in the Palette quarter of Sennecey-le-Grand. Built of local limestone, it features a striking domed roof made of stone slabs, crowned by a spherical finial. A framed water-access window with an iron grille allows the public to draw from the protected spring inside, while a stone bench below recalls its practical role in daily village life. Standing beside an old dovecote in a landscaped green area, this fountain is one of the commune’s most distinctive examples of traditional Burgundian rural architecture.
