The Sainte-Radegonde chapel-fountain, known as the Grand Font, is a French Catholic chapel.

It is mentioned in the archives as early as the 15th century.

The small building that protects the fountain dates from 1860. Initially it was crowned with well-worked stone pinnacles.

The fountain will benefit from a facelift in the 19th century.

It bears the name of Sainte-Radegonde, who was prayed for the deliverance of women in childbirth.
