    You wet a handkerchief with water and dab it on your eyes. Many people then leave the wet handkerchief on a wooden stand to the left of the spring. There are also such "eye fountains" in other places in France and in Belgium (Spa).

    The Fountain of Eyes is a place of pilgrimage renowned for relief or healing, particularly for the eyes.
    It is located 500 meters downstream from the chapel of Notre Dame de Nize, accessible by a small path.


    Tradition dictates that we rub our eyes with a handkerchief wet in the water of the fountain and then hang it on the spot, to leave the evil there.
