Description:
Along the way, you'll discover the Bandol PDO vineyards, a magnificent view of the villages of La Cadière d'Azur and Le Castellet, and the Fontanieu fountain.
La Fontaine de Fontanieu: We haven't yet found the date of its creation in the archives. The fountain consists of 3 basins, nestling below the road. In the 1st basin, peasants who came to work their vines chilled their drinks. It also served as a drinking trough for horses, and the other two as wash-houses. Nearby, a lignite mine was in operation from 1540 to 1940. This mine is world-famous among geologists. They had observed an anomalous superposition of older terrain over younger, hence the invention of the notion of "nappe de charriage". The mine is no longer accessible.
