Saint-Ouen fountain

In 1808, when the village was short of drinking water, Mayor Joseph Maho commissioned the lowest bidder to build this fountain. By 1809, repairs were already needed as was the construction of a paved road. Named Fontaine de la Rue Neuve, it was not until later that the name Fontaine Saint-Ouen came to be associated with a procession from the fountain to the church of Saint-Ouen on this saint’s day.
