Storia
- 1886The first jet rose 30 metres beside the Coulouvrenière plant, where a safety valve released excess water to control pressure when artisans stopped their machines.
- 1891Following public enthusiasm, the city moved the fountain into the lake basin as a permanent tourist landmark and increased its water pressure. Its central jet stood with four smaller jets arranged in a fan; the smaller jets were later removed.
- 1891Projectors on a raft in the harbour illuminated the fountain.
- 1906Two pump sets were installed to supply water to the fountain throughout the week.
- 1947–1948Plans for the present fountain were drawn up in 1947 and approved in 1948.
