Origin and history

La Fontaine de La Roche-Guyon is a historic monument located in the commune of La Roche-Guyon, Île-de-France. Built during the 2nd quarter of the 18th century, it is precisely the Place du Château and the Market, a central location that suggests its importance in the daily life of the time. Its architecture and location reflect the urban and social practices of this period, where fountains played a key role in the provision of water and the structuring of public spaces.

Classified as a historical monument by decree of 8 September 1965, this fountain is now the property of the commune. Its inscription reflects its heritage value and the desire to preserve an 18th-century representative element in Île-de-France. Although the available sources do not specify its sponsor or architect, its protected status and its location near the Château de La Roche-Guyon underline its integration into a wider historical complex, marked by the aristocratic influence and urban development of the Ancien Régime.
