The place around the spring and around the chapel of St. Jouvin radiates something magical. He seems to have been used for eternal times as a "holy" place. You will find a Christian stone altar and mossy steps, plus lots of nature and tranquility.
Every year at the end of May / beginning of June a pilgrimage to the healing spring takes place. Many people rely on the water, which is said to have natural healing properties, and bottle them off.
