Bernos circular fountain

The Bernos fountain in the town of Saint-Laurent-Médoc in Gironde.

Circular in shape with ferruginous waters and an arch at the entrance which could represent a door, this could suggest that Druidic and Celtic rites must have taken place around this fountain.

 

Legend:

Healing virtues are sometimes attributed to it, According to legend, a fairy returns at fixed times to the source, in which she quenched her thirst during her earthly existence?

 

Another legend: a princess, who fell into the fountain, drowned there, and her red hair still remains on the surface of the water.
