On the island, there are about thirty fountains and washhouses. Here, Kermouzouet fountain was renovated and a washhouse added at the end of the 19th century. It is also called Saint-Armand’s fountain, from the name of the chapel destroyed at the end of the 18th century. Its waters were known to treat animals, but also headaches. The legend tells that you had to draw the water at midday after it had been heated by the sun. There used to be several healing fountains on the island.
