The fountain needs restoration. The motors that animate the sculptures have been turned off. See the sign I put in the photo. Report by France 3 https://youtu.be/HkVVdOejMuE?is=JncWYY_OfiAfk1MS It is still very beautiful. Small clarification: François Mitterrand placed a state commission with the artists. So it was the state that paid for this monument.

Located in the heart of the Morvan Regional Natural Park, Chaumard overlooks Lake Pannecières, known as the largest of the six Morvan lakes. The Relais de Pannecières, situated in the village, boasts beautiful paintings adorning its façade – an invitation to daydream!

The Pannecière reservoir was commissioned in 1949. This artificial lake's purpose is to increase the flow of the Yonne and Seine rivers and to mitigate the risk of flooding. It is the largest lake in the Morvan region.
