The Reboul Fountain, also called Grand'Font, is said to be one of the oldest fountains in the city. It would in fact date from the 14th century. It is mentioned for the first time in writings from 1475 concerning repairs.
It also underwent a major restoration in 1694. Her pool has been redone in new condition. Moreover, its belly, taking the form of a vase of roses, periwinkles and lilies, and its masks representing Greek satyr heads, would seem to date from this period. Indeed, its architecture is very similar to that of the Cormorant Fountain also dating from the 17th century, except that its belly is much more imposing.
