Manon of the Spring (French: Manon des sources) is a 1952 French two-part drama film directed by Marcel Pagnol and starring Jacqueline Pagnol, Raymond Pellegrin and Henri Vilbert.[1][2] It was shot at Marseille Studios and on location around La Treille and Aubagne. The film's sets were designed by the art director Eugène Delfau. It was released as two separate films, the second under the title Ugolin.

It was later turned by Pagnol into the novel The Water of the Hills, augmented with a prequel first part (Jean de Florette), and was adapted again as a 1986 film, alongside Jean de Florette.
