Fontaine des Augustins
A reused Roman column gives the Augustins fountain a vertical emphasis near rue Espariat. The nearby tower adds another architectural feature to this small but visually layered street junction.

Compare the ancient column with the later basin and fountain setting to see how older material was incorporated into a newer public monument. The Augustins tower nearby helps make this more than an isolated object. Together they provide a compact view of different periods within the same streetscape, suited to a brief pause between larger visits in the centre.
