La fontaine Sainte Quitterie

Situated 200m from the town hall, the fountain dedicated to Saint Quitterie is renowned for its healing properties against mental illness. According to legend, Saint Quitterie, a convert to Christianity and dedicated to chastity, was beheaded by Germain, whom she refused to marry. The place where her head fell gave rise to a fountain. Many healing fountains in the Landes region are dedicated to this saint, and this one is made of cement, topped by a cross.
