The pouso-raco
Credit
: Stefano Blanc - PNR Verdon
Description
This type of fountain in noria, equipped with a system of chain and piston, was called the pouso-raco in Provençal, that is to say "the puise-spit", literally from where its name, slightly altered , from Poiraque. Its development had to be an event of major importance for all the farms in the sector, because the water points, essential for the life of the plateau, also constituted a privileged place of village sociability.
