    Hiking

    The water from the Saint-Marcouf fountain is said to have the property of treating “cold” or “scroful” humors. In the Middle Ages, cervical abscesses were called this way.

    The kings of France had the gift of healing them by touch. This gift was transmitted to them by Saint-Marcouf, a local hermit from the 6th century. This Norman anchorite is the founder of the abbey of Nanteuil near Coutances.
