Bonvouloir Tower
Highlight • Castle
Erected in 1485 and more than 26 meters high, it is also known as the "Bonvouloir lighthouse", its situation having enabled many soldiers lost in the vicinity to find their way.
If you see anything other than a simple tower, don't blush. Because its eminently phallic shape is wanted. It is due, according to legend, to the will of Lord Hugues de Tessé to thank the source of Bagnoles for his youth and renewed vigor, as well as his numerous descendants. A legend itself very linked to that of the discovery of the source of Bagnoles.
Indeed, Sire Hugues de Tessé had an old horse, Rapide. The latter, old and worn out, was no longer of any use to him but as he was very attached to him, rather than killing him, he chose to abandon him in the forest of Andaines.
So what was his surprise to find him dashing a month later.
Intrigued, he then gets on it and quickly leads him to the source. He bathes there too, and finds his youth but also his vigor. He thus engendered very numerous descendants.
