Hauterive waterway

I find Hauterive to be one of the most charming towns we've visited.

Fountain of Neptune

The fountain of Neptune (notice the water-spouting water nymphs around the base) sits in the Piazza Nettuno by Bologna's Basilica of San Petronio. It's prohibited to take photos inside the churches, so I never do, but I wish I could have. The basilica contains the world's largest sundial.

Knight fountain

One of two fountains of knights built in 1550 in La Neuveville. I'm perplexed by the dog/lion 

holding the musket under the knight, but haven't found any explanations of the iconography.

At DuPeyrou

 

It turns out, the sculpture in the fountain at the Hôtel DuPeyrou is an early Ramseyer from 1948-49.

Herbs at DuPeyrou

The spring flowers have been replaced by herbs, kale, and cabbage at the Hôtel DuPeyrou, 

and the fountain is now in operation.

Clock tower and knight

Another plaza whose name I'll discover next week. The road on the right leads to the castle. The fountain

at the center topped by the knight banneret dates from 1581.

Hauterive lion

One of many public water fountains we've encountered.
