The Fontaine Moussue is an 18th century fountain covered with a thick living layer of moss (hence the name, mossy fountain) and maiden hair ferns. It is on the Place Crousillat and has surrounding trees planted at the end of the French Revolution and at the end of World War I. This fountain is in Salon and is covered with ferns, moss and small flowers. The water trickles constantly down the sides and base. It was originally a saucer-shaped fountain but years of calcium and moss deposited to become the current mushroom shapped mossy fountain.
