The history of the picturesque Bonne Fontaine chapel in Hoste began in 1799, when a Marian apparition occurred near a spring, in front of a deaf-mute child, who was cured. Other stories of healing quickly appeared and large pilgrimages were organized, in the context of the French Revolution, which did not appreciate these crowd movements. In 1848, a Calvary was erected, then the spring was developed. Finally, at the dawn of the First World War, the chapel was erected to receive the religious fervor aroused by this place steeped in both belief and legend.
