[FR] Selon la légende, l'évènement suivant s'est produit le 25 mars 1013.

« Une bergère découvre, dans une fontaine, une statue en bois représentant la Vierge tenant l'enfant Jésus dans ses bras, avec une colombe dans ses mains. Elle rapporte la statue à Briantes où elle est laissée dans l'église. Le lendemain, la statue a disparu mais on la retrouve dans la fontaine. La scène se répète une deuxième fois. On interprète ceci comme la manifestation de l'intention de la Vierge d'être vénérée à cet endroit. »
