The house has been converted into a permanent exhibition space on the operation and history of the old pumping station

Created in 1853 and closed in 1971, Cahors' first drinking water plant used the hydraulic power of the Lot to draw water from the naturally potable Chartreux fountain. Today, the plant, still equipped with its original machinery, features an exhibition on its operation, the history of the pumping station, the Valentré bridge and water in Cahors and around the world. An original and entertaining visit, with a little extra: after your visit, you can enjoy the terrace overlooking the Valentré Bridge.

Petite exposition/musée et point boisson à côté du pont Valentré, la dame qui tient la Maison de l'eau connaît bien l'histoire du lieu et est sympathique.

Detoured to see Pont Valentré which did not disappoint. Spotted cafe/bar from bridge, which turned out to be under the Maison de l'eau - (closed on the Sunday afternoon) Ordered for four after a wait and was then told no Cards - Désolé. The Primarily attraction in Cahors and nearest cafe/bar to it - whose sole existence is to service the visitors to it - is cash only. How quaint.
