Origin and history
The fountain of the Grande-Rue d'Albertville is a listed historical monument, located in the Savoie department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Dating from the 18th century, it was included in the inventory of Historic Monuments by an order of 8 September 1928. This ranking underscores its heritage importance to the municipality and its role in Albertville's urban history.
The location of this fountain is specified in the Merimée base as being on the Grande-Rue, although GPS coordinates suggest a nearby address at 18 Gabriel Perugia Street. The accuracy of this location is estimated as fair (note 5/10), reflecting uncertainties sometimes associated with historical surveys. Owned by the municipality of Albertville, this fountain illustrates the architecture and town planning of Savoie in the Enlightenment century.
Available sources, including Monumentum and Merimée data, confirm its status as a protected monument. Although no information is provided on its current accessibility (visit, rental, etc.), its registration in 1928 guarantees its preservation as a key element of Alberta's heritage. The fountain thus embodies a common heritage, linked to the history of water and public spaces in urban areas.
