Fountains to see Languedoc Roussillon

This monumental fountain is the sculptor James Pradier. Dedicated to water, which accompanies the history of the city, the feminine figure represents Nimes, and the allegorical characters surrounding it symbolize the Roach, the Rhône, the fountain of Eure (the one that the Romans have captured to bring water to Nîmes by the famous aqueduct) and the fountain of Nîmes.

This museum of sacred art, the only one of its kind in the region, is one of the highlights of Pont-Saint-Esprit. Located in the Maison des Chevaliers, a 12th century building, it presents, in a very successful museographic dimension, ceremonial rooms, 14th and 15th century frescoes as well as a superb collection of religious goldsmithery. One passes from one era or civilization to another without chronology, with the artistic expression of the sacred as the guiding thread.
