Fontaine de Vaucluse is a town at the headwater of the Vaucluse river. The river is fed by the collected rainfall on the Vaucluse Plateau. Therefore, if there hasn't been much rain there isn't much flow from the headwater. We have never been to the village when there has been a lot of rain so we have to rely on pictures from other people to imagine the torrent that the river becomes. Here is a picture of three of us making our way down to the pool of water that feeds the river. There are some metal rulers on the wall indicating previous high waters.
