It is located near a Gallo Roman site; its name comes from Villa Jovis (Villa of Jupiter).
During the development of this source in 1900, the foresters engraved on the coping “The foresters at Velleda”. Velleda, a 1st century German druidess, had been brought back into fashion by 19th century romanticism and was considered the goddess of foresters.
A legend tells that a convent and a church rose in these places and were engulfed because of the sacrileges carried out by the monks who lived there.
