Tips from the Community
This fountain is located directly on the D35, the Route des Vins, between the town hall/post office and the Église Saint Michel, on the side street Rue de la Fontaine. It is made of red sandstone, presumably from the Vosges, and was erected in 1543. The inlays and the figure on the column already show strong weathering. The figure can no longer be recognized from the D35 roadside.

If you take the climb from Mandray village - and follow the - rusty - sign to the Col - that is different kind of cookie! 2, 9 km , averages at 11% with peaks up to 17%, and tough road conditions. Descend to Fraize is a blast!
