De Fontaine Saint-Georges is a historic spring and former washhouse in the old part of the French village of Moutiers-en-Puisaye. Before the 13th century, this fountain was located in the middle of the original village center. When Moutiers later changed location, the spring remained in what is now called Moutiers-le-Vieux. Like many other springs in the wooded region of Puisaye-Forterre, its water was formerly attributed with healing properties. According to historical records (such as those by Maximilien Quantin from 1858), it was believed that the spring helped to prevent debilitating fevers.
