Origin and history

The Cours Fountain is a historical monument located in Sospel, in the Alpes-Maritimes department, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Built in the 4th quarter of the 18th century, it is precisely on the course planade, in the heart of the town. Its architecture reflects the styles of the time, although technical details are not specified in the available sources.

The fountain was listed as historic monuments on 12 January 1931, an official recognition of its heritage value. It now belongs to the municipality of Sospel and remains a local landmark, although its current state or possible restorations are not documented in the source texts. Its exact location, according to the Merimée bases, is the course planade, although an approximate address (5308 Place Saint-Pierre) is also mentioned via GPS coordinates.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its importance in the architectural heritage of the Alpes-Maritimes. A bibliographical reference, L'architecture rurale des Alpes-Maritimes de Philippe de Beauchamp (1992), briefly evokes the ancient fountains of the region, but without specific details on this monument. No information is provided on any sponsors, architects or artisans involved in its construction.
