Location of the Font de la Vila, Ille-sur-Têt, Pyrénées-Orientales, France.

Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : La ville d'Ille-sur-Têt a été construite sur une terrasse fluviale située juste au sud de la Têt et de sa plaine inondable actuelle, à une altitude de quelques mètres au-dessus de cette plaine.

Un certain nombre de sources naturelles se trouvent sur ou près du bord nord de cette terrasse, là où elle descend vers la plaine inondable. Certaines de ces sources ont été utilisées pendant des siècles comme "fonts" (fontaines), fournissant de l'eau fraîche à la ville et à ses environs. C'est le cas de la "Font de la Vila", qui se trouve au bas d'un escalier, juste à l'intérieur des anciens remparts de la ville.
On pense que la terrasse d'Ille ("Fy") s'est formée vers la fin de la période glaciaire la plus récente ("Würm"). La basse terrasse ("Fz") est d'âge récent (Holocène).

English: The town of Ille-sur-Têt was built on a river terrace which is located just to the south of the River Têt and its current floodplain, at an altitude of a few metres above that floodplain.

A number of natural springs occur on or near the northern edge of that terrace, where it slopes down to the floodplain. Some of those springs have been used for centuries as "fonts" (fountains), supplying fresh water to the town and its surrounding area. An example is the "Font de la Vila", which is located at the bottom of some steps, just inside the town's old walls.
The river terrace ("Fy") is thought to have formed towards the end of the most recent ("Würm") glacial period. The flood plain ("Fz") is of recent (Holocene) age.
