Chemin du Vieux Pont, 87250 Bessines-sur-Gartempe
Granite basin cut by a left-handed craftsman, probably intended to form the basin of some fountain. 5 m in diameter, 25 tons. Located 2 km from Bessines (Lavaugrasse), it was moved in 1963. The ancients claimed that this basin must have always had water, so that in summer, when it dried up, you could be sure that it would soon rain. Young girls in search of a husband would make a pilgrimage to the pool, and walk around the edge seven times.
