The Musée de l'Eau et de la Fontaine was created in 1989 thanks to Jean-Pierre Courtois' passion for fountains. Over the years, the museum has evolved and moved to the magnificent setting of the Bois des Rêves.
Today, the Musée de l'Eau et de la Fontaine is dedicated to raising public awareness, particularly among young people, of current water-related issues. The educational team offers school events and themed family days to fulfil this mission.
The museum has recently opened its doors to individual visitors.
Practical information :
The Musée de l'Eau et de la Fontaine (MEF) is located in the heart of the Bois des Rêves. There is a 100-metre walk from the car park to the museum entrance.
The building is well signposted and easy to find, but it has two entrances. The ground floor entrance leads to a cafeteria, while the museum is on the first floor. New signage clearly guides visitors to this entrance.
Guided tours are regularly organised at the museum, tailored to different types of group : adults, teenagers and schoolchildren.
A child-friendly visitor guide is available from reception.
