This granite basin was carved by a left-handed craftsman and probably intended to form the basin of a fountain. (diam.: 5m / weight: 25t). It was originally located 2 km from Bessines (in Lavaugrasse) and was moved in 1963. The village elders claimed that this basin would always contain water, so that in the summer, when it dried out, one could be sure that it would not be long before it rained. Young girls in search of a husband would make a pilgrimage there to walk around its edge seven times.
1 km from the center : take the street "Suzanne Valadon" to the traffic lights, go across to the "Chemin de la Pierre Belle" then straight. The granite basin is on the left.

The « clédier » is a stone building of about ten square meters used to dry chestnuts. It can take various forms: round, square or rectangular and its use was individual or collective. Drying protected the fruits from the cold and moisture, which allowed them to be stored and consumed until early summer. This small heritage is typical of the region. The Fontanelle in Cussac is a very good example. You can enjoy a visit to the village or a relaxing break under the large chestnut trees in the garden of Félibres, behind the church.

En patois 'Lou Balo Cubo', le monolithe ayant la forme d'un demi-cercle allongé. A l'intérieur est taillée une marche de 30 cm de largeur. Sur le côté opposé, une entaille pratiquée dans la pierre permet au trop plein de s'écouler. Ce bassin conserve toujours de l'eau, même par grande sécheresse. Certains croient que le bac est contemporain de Jules César. Une autre légende raconte qu'après avoir été déplacé par les gens du village, le bac revint à sa place tout seul.

To get there on foot, take the "Chemin du Vieux Pont" to 150 m., the fountain sits right back down the stairs.
