Hiking

The Sainte-Marie fountain in Sarlat is a natural resurgence which supplied the entire secular part of the city in the Middle Ages. Located rue des Consuls, a few steps from the famous geese of the sculptor Francois-Xavier Lalanne, this fountain was for a long time the city's drinking water point. However, its proximity to the stables and the streets where residents dumped their waste, urine and excrement led to serious water pollution and typhoid epidemics until the 20th century.
