Fountains Fontaine St Martin in Rônai Most of the fountains in the Bocage date from early pagan cults. These sacred places were Christianised by devoting each to a saint. The example at Ronai dates from the 4th century when St Martin answered the needs of the village by striking the ground with his sword. The resulting spring has never failed. Other fountains Sainte-Marie à Habloville et Fontaine de Saint-Clair à Ménil-Gondouin |
