Mother-fountain, in Brocéliande
It appears that it is the key source of all water of the forest. It was collected by the owner, a few years ago.
The basins druidic are still present, the first, round, where collecting is. It is drained. The second, square, are used as outfall with the source. The third, rectangular, is hidden under the watery plants.
The spring water remains a water healer, it is enough to pay the homage to him which she deserves.
Hotié of Viviane
It is a walk shady of more than 4.000 years, of new type in the area. It was formerly called the tomb of the druids.
Yes, it is a tomb, but virtual, initiatory. It is the test of the ground of the impétrants…
It is surrounded by a circle of small stones, signs of old a tumulus
The fountain of Barenton
The
fountain of Barenton summarizes the magic of Brocéliande perfectly: it
is necessary, to find this fountain, to be inserted in the middle of
the forest. It has heavy passed or history and legend are mèlent, it is
said that its water is curative and that they have the capacity to cure
the chronic diseases. It was a sanctuary for the Celtic religion. The
druids had installed a school there and a hospital and celebrated there
their worship dedicated to the solar god Bélénos, god of the lightning
and the sources, large god healer. The name of the fountain in the
feudal texts is besides Balenton, or Beleton, names which approach by
consonnance the name the god. 
It
is also said that it is there that Merlin will renconrtra Viviane for
the first time, and that was born their love. It is there too that
Chrétien of Troyes locates the action of its novel “the knight at the
lion”.
It seems that the site was christianized after the departure of the druids, by the construction of a vault beside the fountain, the disappearance of this vault following the arrival in the area of a strange character, Eon of Star, with the XII ème century.
Finally Barenton is, since Chrétien of Troyes and by the novelists of the XVI ème century, the site where the water drawn with the fountain and poured on the stone called “the perron of Merlin”, starts in the hour the storm and the indescribable storms near to last cataclysm. The legend was transformed into popular belief, leading successive generations to go to processions to require the rain.
The vault Jean Saint
Undoubtedly
founded by the Hospital ones of about Midsummer's Day of Jerusalem, it
is thought that the vault belonged at the origin with the knights about
Templiers. That they are the Hospital ones or Templiers, the moved back
and wild site was favourable with the military religious orders.
During the One hundred Year old war one locked up English prisoners in the old hermitage (ruined today) surrounding the vault. This hermitage and especially the long flagstones of schist which level the ground, add to the magic of the atmosphere. Downwards, with the hollow of a hedge, the fountain traditionally related to the worship of Midsummer's Day is. Formerly, one came in procession on June 24.
The church is perhaps posed on an old stone quarry….Let us say how the tailors left for a very long time!
Beautiful place in any case.
There is under the door a drain dug in the stone, which leaves think that there was a source inside.
And on the furnace bridge (seen by a window, the church is closed of course) a beautiful pattée cross.
Holy fountain Apolline
"" Jour of Holy-Apolline renfrogné, they is three beautiful summer months which it kept us. ""
A beautiful small fountain where people of the corner come to fill of the bottles for their personal consumption.
To always make confidence with the good direction of the autochtones…
The trees upstream deviate, letting pass miraculous water. One would say well a photo example for the telluric networks.
The garden of the monks
The site is divided into three parts like the cathedrals and certain churches, which symbolize the three plans of conscience (physical, spirit, heart). Energies are in general gradual and the vibratory rate of the future initiate increases gradually whereas it penetrates the place. We are in the presence of a gold rectangle, prolonged by a square.
Of a 27 meters length, the ground mass is bordered of 27 small drawn up blocks from the northern side and 26 southern side. It is built alternatively out of quartz and red schist.
All
philosophies and religions consider that the man can rise towards
spirituality by three successive stages: world of passions (physical)
in the world of appearances (spirit) then in the world of nonappearance
(heart), rectangle of the physical life to the square of the spiritual
life then to the circle of the divine life. And one of these limits is
perhaps related to the chimney which one can feel towards the third
part of the site. A telluric wave is also in full center with what one
could call the chorus of the old temple.
. 
Trees…
Not to leave without a visit in Ponthus and Guillotin. These two there have many things to tell!
Brocéliande's lakes
For those which like the fairies and other elves, they also move with the top of water. Long life with Brocéliande!
