Saint-Roger springs and chapels

In 1148, the Count of Rethel commissioned a monk from the English coast to establish a chapel at Elan. It was here that Saint Roger spent the last years of his life, performing many miracles. One of these was to make the waters of the fountain so icy that they cured love fevers, languor and sterility. From this time onwards, the sepulchre and springs of Elan became a famous place of pilgrimage. In front of the chapel, a triple-entry pool symbolises the Holy Trinity.
