The house has been converted into a permanent exhibition space on the operation and history of the old pumping station

The town's first drinking water plant, created in 1853 and closed in 1971, it used the hydraulic power of the Lot to pump water from the naturally potable Chartreux fountain.

The original machinery has now been restored, and the building has been converted into an exhibition space where visitors can learn more about the history and operation of the old pumping station, discover the Valentré Bridge, and learn about water in Cahors and around the world. An original and entertaining visit. Tip: after your visit, take advantage of the terrace facing Pont Valentré (April to October).

Très belle exposition sur l'eau, le pont Valentré. La dame du musée est très gentille, souriante et donne des explications. Je vous remercie pour votre accueil

Detoured to see Pont Valentré which did not disappoint. Spotted cafe/bar from bridge, which turned out to be under the Maison de l'eau - (closed on the Sunday afternoon) Ordered for four after a wait and was then told no Cards - Désolé. The Primarily attraction in Cahors and nearest cafe/bar to it - whose sole existence is to service the visitors to it - is cash only. How quaint.

Jolie exposition sur l'eau et le Groenland. A faire quand on a traversé le pont Valentré. Il faut environ 30min à 1h...
