The Saint-Georges Fountain

The Saint-Georges spring dates from the 17th century and also includes a covered laundry not far from the church. This fountain is in the image of many Christianised fountains in the Limousin, a saint is dedicated to them, thus giving this water healing virtues. That is why the water from this spring was once considered as pure and holy as holy water. Saint-Georges is a legendary martyr saint; the patron saint of knights, he personifies the ideal of chivalry; he engaged in a fierce battle with the dragon and triumphed with the help of Christ.
