The spring is beautifully arranged and decorated (at least during Easter). There's also a small seating area where you can rest after the climb.

Minimes Cross

Highlight • Other

In the 1630s, a convent of 'Minims' was built here, near the chapel, and Louis XIII confirmed its foundation with letters patent in 1638. A brotherhood of Our Lady of Pond was founded in 1640. Famous people made the pilgrimage to Our Lady of Pond. According to tradition, Saint Jeanne de Chantal came here with Saint François de Sales in 1604, and the Bishop of Geneva then composed a prayer to the Virgin. Saint Chantal returned there in 1610. Among the pilgrims were also Bossuet, Louis XIV, and the Prince of Condé, who offered Our Lady of Pond flags won in his battles. In 1636, when Dijon was threatened by the troops of the Austrian General Gallas, the statue of Our Lady of Pond was brought to Saint-Bénigne, and the people of Dijon believed that Our Lady of Pond had protected them from invasion. Many other miracles have been attributed to the intercession of Our Lady of Pond, including the cessation of epidemics and droughts.
