Jacques Hotteterre and château d'eau (water tower), La Couture-Boussey, Eure (27)

The Hotteterre family originates from La Couture-Boussey, and were well-known as wind instrumentalists, makers of wind instruments and composers particularly in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Louis XIV's composer and flautist Jacques Hotteterre is the most famous of them. On the other side of the château d'eau is a huge alto clarinette. 

Due to a high level of nitrates, the building has been out of use since 1985. The Ateliers Adeline made the painting in 2001. As it suggests at the top of the tower, the village is the home of the Musée des instruments à vent.
