Beaune-of Allier, Saint-Aignan fountain
Beaune-to
Allier comes from Belna, of the name of Belenos (Gallic god),
unquestionable site of a temple with Bélénos and Minerve on a source
with the site of the Saint-Porcien vault.
The Saint-Aignan fountain is also a christianized Gallic crowned source which cured the ocular diseases.
Saint Aignan was born in a noble Christian family, refugee in Vienna. Young person, it was made hermit in a cave of the area, then it was placed under the control of Saint Euverte, bishop of Orleans. He was abbot of the monastery of Saint-Laurent-of-Orgerils then succeeded Saint Euverte into 391. He saved his city besieged by Huns of Attila. Many miracles were done on its behalf.
