Description
The source was already known to the Romans. The hot fountain, also called a source of the Nèhe, consists of a pentagon -shaped basin, surrounded by a square portico. It was built between 1814 and 1818 in a neo-classical style. Excavations made in 1976 made it possible to discover the remains of the old basin which dates from the 4th century.
