Fontaine de dévotion - Ambrus

According to a tradition recounted in a Marian hymn, the Virgin Mary herself is said to have descended from heaven to take a walk on the moor. She caught her feet on the thorns of the bushes, and her feet were bloodied. She then dipped them in the water of the fountain, and they were healed.

In Ambrus, you enter the Landes forest, with its immense pine forests and streams. Very early on, the rocky shelters of the Avizon and Rusthe rivers served as refuges for prehistoric man. Later, the Gauls made Ambrus a place of worship due to the presence of numerous venerated fountains.

A few steps away from the church, one of these fountains with therapeutic virtues is still present. It is here that since time immemorial, pilgrims have come to make vows and throw a coin. It is up to you to do the same in this bucolic and secret place.
