Come and discover the history of the village, its fountains and its peculiarities
The 7 fountains that feed the village are named : "Fontjirle", "Fonton", "Du Four", "De la cime", "De la forge", "De la place" et "Lavoir St Martin".

"Depending on their location, and use, they have got different forms and depths: wash-houses, fountains low to feed the garden or give to the animals, high basins for domestic use."
Heritage signage "over the water" and a plan - created by the Enseignes of Villar d'Arène - to guide you."
