    This laundrette was an essential place for the large washes that took place once or twice a year in the countryside.

    Rebuilt in 1911 and recently restored, it is equipped with a movable floor. It was adjusted to the level of the river so that the washerwomen's feet remained dry.

    The footbridge was built by the inhabitants of the Billardière district who wanted to attend the church service without having to make a detour to the town hall.

    the washhouse remains a vestige of another time, but for all that, it is important not to forget this past, these traditions, it was the daily life of our grandmothers, persisting with a tedious but so important work. Let us therefore keep and take good care of this common heritage.
