Gruyères
The Fountain

In the centre of Rue du Bourg stands a large fountain made of Artois sandstone. There is nothing medieval about it: until the 18th century, there were only wells and cisterns in Gruyères, but no running water. Spring water only arrived in the town in 1755, channelled over several kilometres in a simple wooden pipe.
