Petite Chapelle de Notre-Dame de la Compassion

His memory transmitted for three centuries evokes times of misery when the disease fell like a curse on the good and the bad ... The winters are rough and lean the food. In addition to hunger, there was plague and cholera. And so Fountains succumbed whole families and many children (112 deaths between September 1963 and May 1964). Processions and prayers did nothing, the epidemic was still going on ... Finally, the end of the evil happened by force of fervor. Then, giving thanks to Heaven, the Chapel was built very small for the memory. Armored door point, simply a humble door. No stained glass, just simple berries. High vault and capitals, only a wooden frame in the shape of a cradle. And the rubble walls, which carry here and there, the trace of a painted plaster. And gave him a name as great as a Cathedral: Our Lady of Mercy. The Chapel has long been the object of a particular veneration. There remained crosses traced on the outer walls as a sign of gratitude for the graces obtained.
