From the fountain to the church of Notre-Dame de Charzais
Nestling in a verdant setting, the Charzais fountain was once a central part of daily life, enlivened by the activities of the women's washhouse. Water, an essential resource, also had a spiritual dimension, with processions leaving the church to reach this spring dedicated to the Virgin Mary. This emblematic site also tells the story of the district, marked by powerful events - particularly during the revolutionary period - that have left a lasting mark on the memory of its residents.
