Fontaine couverte, Historical fountain in Anduze, France.

The Fontaine Couverte in Anduze is a fountain enclosed by a low curved stone basin wall. A central round column base is surrounded by four red cylindrical posts that hold a wide umbrella-like canopy, roofed with overlapping scalloped tiles in bands of blue, green, yellow, brown and dark grey. A wooden spoked wheel is mounted horizontally below the tiles, and a small wooden cupola tops the structure.

The covered fountain of Anduze dates from the 17th century. It was classified as a monument historique by decree of 21 February 1914, the designation that still protects it today.

The fountain's name, fontaine couverte, refers to its covered canopy, whose scalloped polychrome tiles and wooden spoked wheel are the details to look for. Classified as a monument historique on 21 February 1914, it stands in Anduze in the Gard department and is known in Catalan as the Font coberta.

The fountain sits in the historical center of Anduze and is easy to reach on foot while exploring the old streets. Its central location makes it simple for visitors to discover while walking through the town.

The canopy's roof is laid with scalloped scale tiles in bands of blue, green, yellow, brown and dark grey, and a wooden spoked wheel is mounted horizontally beneath them. A small wooden cupola tops the structure, which stands on a low curved stone basin wall.
