| Description |
Forêt de Loches. La fontaines d’Orfonds. La fontaine d’Orfonds est connue depuis des siècles. Elle alimentait une villa gallo-romaine, à Contray, via un aqueduc. Une partie de cet aqueduc est encore visible (www.flickr.com/photos/sybarite48/13240295144/) Autrefois, le lieu était dénommé « Aurea fonte », la « fontaine d’or ». Cette jolie source, en forme de fer à cheval, est associée à une bien curieuse légende … Orfons l’enchanteur, avait la science des druides, c’était un magicien. Invisible aux yeux des humains, il se plaisait à amasser des trésors. . .

Une seule fois par an, à chaque minuit de Noël, il pouvait, avec une clé magique, s’échapper de la crypte, et se livrer à son occupation favorite : vanner les pièces d’or de son trésor …

Orfons the magician had the science of the Druids. Invisible to human eyes, he liked to lay up treasures. . . Thus, he had stolen white dress dotted with diamonds Notre-Dame-de-Beautertre. He had also melted the gold statue of St. Bruno de la Chartreuse du Liget. It was therefore condemned by God to stay locked in the crypt of the chapel of Saint-Nicolas-du-Bois. Once a year, every Christmas midnight, he could, with a magic key, escape the crypt and indulge in his favorite pastime: winnowing gold coins from his treasure ... |
