Bonnes Fontaines Saint Jean

Good fountains" are springs, often isolated in nature, on which people have built fountains; they are frequented because their waters are reputed to have curative virtues and are the object of a veritable cult. The good fountains of Saint-Jean in Cussac are among the most typical. There are three of them: the first, by the roadside, cures toothache, the second, in the chestnut grove, is indicated for all types of pain, while the third heals livestock. The site has been landscaped: chestnut trees have been replanted, and there are benches, an open-air theater, information panels and a hiking trail. Every year, the commune of Cussac celebrates the Bonnes Fontaines with a number of events on the site.
