The holy well La Fontaine à devotion de la Fontenille stands beside a quiet lane in the northern Dordogne, SW France.

This tiny shrine is still frequented for it's healing gifts, with recent votive offerings of entire garments, as is the custom at other holy wells in the area, such as at Courbefy and at La Bonne Fontaine at Les Cars. 

These offerings are equivalent to the rag offerings which are customary at Madron, Glastonbury, Sancreed in England, and elsewhere in Great Britain.

Nearby is the holy well at Peyre St Front
