Illuminated at night, they enhance the prestige of the estate with their ostentatious character. Beyond their architectural appeal, this structure holds an impressive volume of 142 m³ of inexhaustible spring water, continuously replenished-a free water resource as precious as it is rare in provence, especially in times of rationing. A large ornamental basin, completely independent, faces the old stables. Dating from the early 19th century with a romantic spirit, it is fed by another independent spring; beautiful koi carp coexist there with a diverse ecosystem. Finally, a last basin, located inside an outbuilding (troglodyte), could, once fitted with attractive ironwork, become a charming decorative feature in the only part not yet restored. We must especially emphasize the uniqueness and rarity in provence of this entire ensemble of striking basins, which adds considerable charm to the castle.''
