The lavoire was a communal building where the clothes were washed. These buildings protected the users against the weather, offer running water and are typical for this part of France. This one has an unusual oval bassin.

The village of Ray-sur-Sâone gives you a taste of Franche-Comté. Its church has a magnificent Comtois-style glazed tile roof. The village, classified as a city of character, is dominated by a medieval castle, which was the largest fortress in Franche-Comté in the Middle Ages. He counted no less than fourteen turns. The castle can only be visited as part of guided tours. Reservations for visits are required at 03.84.95.77.37 or via the email address chateauderay@haute-saone.fr. In the village square you will also find an elegant wash house, which has an unusual oval basin.
