Tonnerre is a small town nestled in between limestone hills along the Burgundy canal. Parking where we could find space we climbed over steep hills and down dales to find the Fosse Dionne a natural spring pumping out 200 litres per minute from a location which is really the middle of town. There is a deep pool into which the water flows and this is surrounded by a sort of awning and colonnade. Overhanging the pool are also many narrow tall houses which seem to look down into the pool.
Worth a visit just to see this water supply and to learn its history.
No picture with this story just a link to a page about this water source. There is catch though, it's in French, so practice your language skills before clicking this link! :-)
