FONT DE L'OLI
The "font de l'Oli" takes the form of a small stone building, topped by a series of underground pipes and basins
For a long time, Gabian was known not for its wines, but for its oil and oil deposits! At the beginning of the 17th century, a doctor even recommended its use for therapeutic purposes, particularly in the treatment of gout and ear pain. The "font de l'Oli" is a small stone building, erected at the request of the bishop of Béziers, Bausset de Roquefort, which surmounts a series of pipes and underground basins for the collection of oil. The sources then diverge: some say that the source dried up in the early 19th century, others that the oil was exploited there until 1950.
