The legendary fountain: Mathilda of Tuscany was a widow and her wedding ring had accidentally fallen into the fountain. She prayed to the Lord and at once a trout rose to the surface with the precious ring in its mouth. Mathilda exclaimed : "Truly this place is a Val d'Or! " In gratitude, she decided to establish a monastery on the site.
