Bléneau, Yonne. Spring-fed, plumbed.


Unusual basin in the form of an irregular quadrilateral: two right-angles, one acute, and one obtuse. Satisfying opportunity to revisit the nomenclature of high school geometry. Delicate ardoise roofing. Lots of algae but there was steady flow of water from a culvert under the street above. Bedding plants all around -- pretty spiffy!
