Origin and history
La Fontaine Saint-Jean de La Cadière-d'Azur is an emblematic 17th-century monument located in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It has been included in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 10 June 1975, under the cadastral reference B 142. This fountain, owned by the commune, bears witness to the importance of hydraulic infrastructure in the provençal villages of modern times.
The location of the fountain is specified by GPS coordinates, placing it on the Municipal Way of Saint Jean. Although architectural details are not described in available sources, its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage value. The fountain is part of a historical context where water points played a central role in the daily, social and economic life of rural communities.
Practical information about access or visit is not explicitly mentioned in the sources. However, its status as communal property suggests that it is accessible to the public. The fountain is also documented in the Merimée base, with a location accuracy deemed satisfactory, and a photograph attributed to Thérèse Gaige under Creative Commons license.
