Direct quote Dax Tourist guide :

"Is it only to be discovered under the warmth and light of the hot summer sun ? Or is it at night, with the rain beating down, that it is at its most intriguing, that magic moment when the cool water merges with that of the fountain (64°), turning into effervescent vapours creeping slowly upwards above the roof tops... leaving us childlike, gaping at this natural spectacle wide-eyed with wonder"
