Fontaine des pisseurs, Renaissance fountain in Lacaune, France.

The stone fountain features a polygonal basin placed two meters high, where water flows through four bronze figures into a lower sandstone basin.

Built in 1559, the fountain commemorates the local contribution of 300 gold coins to free Jacques II de Bourbon from captivity in 1396.

The four bronze figures, known as 'pissaires', reflect the natural diuretic properties of Lacaune's thermal waters through their water-spouting design.

The fountain remains accessible throughout the year, with public facilities and free parking spaces available for visitors in the surrounding area.

Water flows through medieval monster-faced columns between the upper polygonal basin and the iron-ringed lower sandstone receptacle.
