Circuit of fountains and laundries

AUPS

Come and discover this heritage tour that offers a charming stroll among the village's fountains and laundries where the present and the past intermingle.




Since antiquity, men have been ingenious at capturing, channelling and harnessing water.
The Rue des Tanneurs d'Aups, bears witness to the fact that in the past the commune, which was abundantly supplied by the Vallauris spring, had several tanneries. The 19th century was rich in water-related creations.
With its 17 fountains and 3 wash houses, this tour will take you back in time.
