The cave Saint-Vit, a place of worship in the history, surprising<\/h2>

The cave while sandstone is called Saint-Vit because a chapel was erected at the end of it is dedicated to him. The name Lives is a term in Alsace, which actually refers to a disease : the dance of St. Vitus. It is similar to a dance, because the people suffering are involuntary actions and disordered due to an infringement of infectious basal ganglia of the brain. The people of Alsace, who were victims of the Fifteenth century, were thought to be possessed. The chapel has been erected to exorcise the wretched who were in fact suffering from an infection.<\/p>
