La Fontaine

-

The geology of Drom is such that the commune has no natural outlet, which forces rainwater to infiltrate into the ground. But when the underground network is saturated, the water level rises, to the point of creating floods, causing water to gush out of the cracks in the rocks and even forming veritable little geysers.
The inhabitants of the 16th century took advantage of this to capture the water by creating a fountain, which was remodelled in 1831 and equipped with a washhouse. The water comes from a 20 to 30 metre long funnel, the particularity of which is that it is submersible during floods.
