Description

The Saint-Jean fountain is located near the old station of Lamothe, on the bank of the Eyre. Located on a road to Santiago de Compostela, you have to cross a stream (called "craste" in the language of the country) which runs along the railway line to get there. This building, now restored and preserved, has suffered the ravages of time. The fountain is surmounted by a small building with a niche on which the dates 1645 and 1650 can be deciphered. Until 1772, this now empty niche housed the statue of Saint-Jean, Lamothe's patron saint. A source of miracles and healings, there were often cloths deposited by the sick, a superstition quite common in the Landes.
