Autel de la Patrie

13990 Fontvieille

An altar erected in 1794 by the people of Fontvieille to symbolise their allegiance to the Fatherland. Men and women came in two separate processions to lay wreaths of flowers and wheat to signify their loyalty. Situated a few metres south of the Moulin de Daudet, it was toppled at the foot of the hill, then restored to its original position in 1935. A cubic block measuring 80 cm on each side, with a shallow square recess on top. The stone bears no decoration or inscription.
