The water tower that looms before you was erected in 1928. The fresco was painted in July 1999 by the painter Serge Nanson. The colourful fresco depicts the aquatic and migratory animals that live in and around
the Les Goffes pond and its lovely little islet.

For a fee you can fish here on Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday and public holidays (from the 1st weekend in April till end February), and every day in July & August.

A bit further on, stands the the fountain known as the Pépinette (this is the
diminutive form of ‘Pépin’).
The fountain was thus named in remembrance of the time Pepin the Short came to Nassogne. Pépin
was king of the Franks, the son of Charles Martel and the father of Charlemagne (also known as
‘Charles the Great’). Legend has it that when he was passing through Nassogne with his thirsty troops, they were unable to find any water. At the end of his tether, Pépin struck the rock right here with his sword and -
lo and behold! – fresh spring water immediately welled out from the rocks...
Pepin the Short also elevated the church to the rank of collegial church and had a chapter of canons attached to
the church.
