FR En remontant la rue Clovis Picon, on peut voir cette fontaine à pompe à roue convertie en bac à fleurs.
Le Bac en pierres assemblées par du béton est surmontée par la modeste fontaine en fonte.
Derrière la fontaine, une grande roue permettait autrefois de pomper l'eau pour la laisser s'écouler par la fontaine.
Pour une raison que j'ignore, la roue ne pompe pluis l'eau et le bac est converti en bac à fleur.
j'ai cherché sans trouver une inscription concernant la fontaine ou la roue.
EN Going up rue Clovis Picon, you can see this wheel pump fountain converted into a flower box.
The Bac in stones assembled by concrete is surmounted by the modest cast iron fountain.
Behind the fountain, a large wheel used to pump water to let it flow through the fountain.
For some reason, the wheel no longer pumps water and the container is converted into a flower container.
I searched without finding an inscription concerning the fountain or the wheel.
