had to dive into the holiday files to retrieve these images of beautiful old French faucets - nothing fancy, these have been pouring out water for the people of the villages for more than a century. The fresh water fountain in the centre of town had a comfortable bench nearby for travellers or locals to rest in the shade and the old lavoir (wash room) was still being used - a shirt hangs over the central beam above the wash basins. The water runs through each of the basins and is constantly replenished from the top.
