Hiking

Near the moat of the Château de Sedan is the Dauphine Fountain. The current fountain, dating from 1787, replaces a first, the original, built in honor of the Grand Dauphin, son of Louis XIV. Water from the fountain comes out through the mouth of a male face. It is made of stone and is topped with a rather neutral pediment. According to the anecdote, on the day of the inauguration, wine was served to the people there instead of water.
