La fontaine de Bernos

The Bernos Fountain is of Gallic origin. The Gauls worshipped water divinities, and the druids celebrated their cult in clearings where the sun could penetrate, close to ferruginous springs considered to be divinities. The spiritual life of the Gauls occupied an important place in their social group. The Druids, dressed in white as a symbol of purity of light and the immortality of the soul, led gatherings in the forest that had become a temple. The Fontaine de Bernos is a site rich in legend and mystery. Its circular shape, its ferruginous waters, the arch that marks its entrance and which once held a doorway, its surrounding oak trees.
Its legends strongly suggest that Druidic and Celtic cults took place around this fountain, which has never been seen to dry up.
