Les Mouilepieds - Abreuveur et Fontaine

Today I was in St. Martin's parish and I thought I'd get my blip from that neighbourhood. I have taken a picture of an old spring & abreuveur. As seen in the blip, the path descends to the spring. It has two sections, The right hand side is paved for the people to tread when taking their animals to the spring and the left is just shingle, for use by the animals. Despite the paving however I suspect when in use it was a messy affair judging by the name of the Abreuveur. Les Mouilepieds literally translates as 'The muddy feet'. See other abreuveurs here.
