Découverte d'Alise-Sainte-Reine - Alésia

This path is named after Reine, a young girl from Alesia educated in the Christian faith, who, in 253, refused to marry the pagan Roman governor Olibrius. To punish such an affront, floggings, burnings and other tortures were inflicted on the young girl. Legend has it that from the bloody ground, a spring of living water gushed forth. Even today it perpetuates the memory of the one who was declared a saint.
