    This is a type of freshwater cistern for military shipping that was built in the 17th century. It is part of the Vauban facilities on Belle Ile.

    The Aiguade was built in 1696 to collect water from a spring and provide drinking water for the king's ships. It was probably Vauban, Louis XIV's great military engineer, who took the initiative to build it during his stays on Belle-Île (between 1683 and 1689). This is why it is also called the Aiguade Vauban.

    Together with the Royal Fountain of St-Nazaire near Rochefort, the Belle Fontaine is the only building still standing in France! It was the first building on the island of Belle-Île to be listed as a historical monument in 1993.
