Bonvouloir-Tower and its amusing story:

Bonvouloir-Tower and its amusing story:
Having left an aged steed in the Andaine Forest, Hugues, Lord of Tessé was surprised to see some days later his messenger coming back to him, cool and vigorous. Intrigued, Hugues mounted the horse which drove him to the sources of Bagnoles, where the old Lord had a bath in his turn. Coming out of the water he found force and youth also.

He married the Lady of Bonvouloir and had many children with her. In recognition of the recovered force, he made raise this tower, in a symbolic form...

*******************

Ayant laissé un vieux cheval dans la forêt d'Andaine, Hugues, seigneur de Tessé a été surpris de voir quelques jours plus tard son messager revenir vers lui, frais et vigoureux. Intrigué, Hugues monta sur le cheval qui le conduisit aux sources de Bagnoles, où le vieux seigneur se baigna à son tour. Sortant de l'eau, il a également trouvé force et jeunesse.

Il a épousé la Dame de Bonvouloir et a eu beaucoup d'enfants avec elle. En reconnaissance de la force retrouvée, il fit monter cette tour, sous une forme symbolique...
