FR: "Le château d'eau de Gorée : l'actuel kiosque à musique de Gorée, qui est en fort mauvais état, était autrefois un château d'eau. Comme on peut le voir sur cette photo, il servait de fontaine où les habitants de Gorée venaient se ravitailler. L'examen de plans anciens montre qu'il permettait surtout, via des conduites enterrées, d'alimenter directement le palais du gouverneur, l'hôpital, l'école William Ponty et l'école Léopold Angrand."

EN: "The Gorée water tower: the current Gorée music kiosk, which is in very poor condition, was once a water tower. As can be seen in this photo, it served as a fountain where the inhabitants of Gorée came to refuelle. The examination of ancient plans shows that it mainly made it possible, via buried pipes, to directly feed the governor's palace, the hospital, the William Ponty school and the Léopold Angrand school."
