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.

Un lloc de prefiguració del futur Centre d'Interpretació de l'Arquitectura i el Patrimoni de la ciutat, aquest espai també té com a finalitat animar el públic a descobrir Cahors i el seu territori.
