Le Vendangeur, Salins les Bains, Jura, France - Occupational Monuments on Waymarking.com

"Cette fontaine se trouve en bas de la rue du vigneron, sur la Place du même nom. Elle se trouve en face de la porte d'entrée de l'ancienne saline (waymark WMQFBA).

Cette fontaine semble être là pour rendre hommage au vin du Jura. En effet les vins du Jura sont cités dés le XVIe siècle pour la ville de Salins-les-Bains. De nos jours, au sens strictement viticole, le vignoble s'étend de Salins-les-Bains, au nord, à Saint-Amour, au milieu du Revermont." (visit link)

"This fountain is located down the street from the "Vigneron" (winemaker), of the same name space. It is in front of the entrance door of the former saline (waymark WMQFBA).

This fountain seems to be here to honor the Jura wine. Indeed Jura wines are cited dice the sixteenth century for the city of Salins-les-Bains. Today, the vineyard strictly sense, the vineyard stretches from Salins-les-Bains, in the north to Saint-Amour, in the middle of Revermont." (visit link)
