In the valley of Saint-Maixent lies this water mouth bordered by a lush green, the well of Hell, which is both a resting place filled with a tenacious legend. According to the founders of this site, a brave farmer who wanted to take his animals into a freshly-broken prairie, which required to cross the river, was the victim of his haste and slid with his entire herd into the tortuous waters. Born the well of hell, because, important detail, the brave peasant was taken on a Sunday, day dedicated to the Lord.
