Spared by the Allies's bombings in 1944, Maison de la Fontaine is one of the oldest buildings in the Ponant city. Located in the heart of Recouvrance, it overlooks Penfeld beside the garden of the Explorateurs, facing the Brest castle. Bought by the municipality in 1980, it now offers numerous activities and free exhibitions, organised by the cultural service of the city, or the Association des Amis de Recouvrance, initiator of its renovation in 1992. As for its name, it has nothing to do with a certain 17th century's poets. The house has its name from the fountain constructed next to it in 1760. It later became the residence of the most prestigious sculptor (Yves Collet) that this group has ever known: a permanent exhibition is devoted to him in the basement, between the walls of the original fountain. Note that the cross on the gable comes from the Noyés graveyard, which was in this same place until the 17th century.
