La Grande Fontaine was built in 1850 in the Provencal style. The square with the fountain has inspired many painters and photographers over time. It was also here that Célestin Freinet took his students to outdoor classes.
The oldest fountain in the city is located on Place de Placette, from where the water has flowed since 1611.
