Bernos fountain

The Bernos Fountain is of Gallic origin. The Gauls worshiped water deities and the Druids celebrated their worship in clearings where the sun penetrated near ferruginous springs considered to be deities.

The spiritual life of the Gauls occupied an important place in their social group. The druids, dressed in white, a symbol of purity of light and the immortality of the soul, led gatherings within the forest that had become a temple.

The Bernos Fountain is a site rich in legends and mysteries. Its circular shape, its ferruginous waters, the arch which demarcates the entrance and which had a door, its surroundings of oaks. Its legends strongly suggest that Druidic and Celtic cults took place around this fountain which has never been seen dry.

According to legend, a fairy returns at fixed times to the spring, in which she quenches her thirst during her earthly existence?

Another legend, a princess, who fell into the fountain, drowned there, and her red hair still remains on the surface of the water.
