What stands there
1 spring, reputed to cure headaches
A spring renowned for its curative powers against headaches, attributed to its iron content, under the protection of Saint Mary Magdalene. One example among the twenty or so devotional springs recorded in the Landes, where the pilgrimage of 22 July remains alive in several neighbouring communes (Sindères, Saint-Julien-en-Born).
