Well of the Augustins (Place Chanoz)
This well, formerly in the Clos des Augustins, has a depth of 17m30 and a diameter of 1,2m. It is masoned to a depth of 6 to 7 meters before being dug into the rock. At the end of February 1993, the water height was 13 meters. It was raised on its square edge, during the development of Place Chanoz. It has not been used since the 1950s.

Well of Place Grenette
We know nothing about the construction of this very ancient well and its stone dwelling built on its edge. Its depth is 17 meters and it is built over 5 meters. Its diameter is 2,1 meters. The water level, 3 meters, verified over several years, is constant.

Well towards the Giraud house
Rue Blanche, it is about fifteen meters from this well that the old hospital (1450) was located, which suggests that it is that of the hospital.
Its coping rested on the ground on the rock and its depth is 15,65 meters, its diameter of 1,7 m, with a water height of 13,25 m. At the bottom of it we find a small cavity and a crack 7 to 8 m high.
The well was raised for the construction of the small square. Period seals, made of lead, are visible.
