From the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD, the Fontaine des Chartreux was a center of worship of Divona, goddess of the waters in the Celtic tradition, as evidenced by the Roman coins found during archaeological explorations
in 1989.
In the Middle Ages, a mill used the waters of the spring: the spring was ceded to the Charterhouse of Cahors and was known thereafter by the name of this religious order.
In the 19th century, some of the stones lining the pool were replaced by tombstones from the church of Notre Dame de la Daurade, destroyed in 1808.
