Origin and history

La Fontaine de Caromb is a historical monument located in the commune of Caromb, in the department of Vaucluse (84), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It is identified as a significant heritage element, although its exact construction period is not specified in available sources. The fountain was listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 20 May 1927, reflecting its cultural and architectural importance to the locality.

The location of the Fountain of Caromb is estimated as "a priori satisfactory", with an approximate address indicated as 5000 F Place du Cabaret, in the center of Caromb. This type of monument, typical of Provencal villages, often played a central role in the daily life of the inhabitants, serving as a water and gathering point. Public fountains were essential for drinking water supply and domestic activities, reflecting the social organization and collective needs of the rural communities of the time.
