Fontaine des Chartreux
The Chartreux fountain is a resurgence of limestone, once the place of worship of the goddess Divona, goddess of waters of Celtic origin, who gave her name to Cahors (Divona Cadurcorum).
The discovery of many Roman coins in 1989 testify to the cult paid to the source in the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD.
In the Middle Ages, a mill used the waters of the fountain, then in 1360 it was ceded to the monastery of the Carthusians, hence its current name.
This source always feeds Cahors in water.
