Did you know ? In the 12th century, major laundry was done once a year, after the Easter holidays. In the 19th century, “les grandes buées” meaning “doing laundry” took place in spring and autumn. In wealthy families, large laundry loads could include 70 sheets, as many shirts, dozens of tea towels and handkerchiefs. These families called on professionals: washerwomen.

In the 12th century Mauperthuis was an isolated farm in the parish of Saints. Its independence dates from 1195. A chapel was built. In 1170 the church with a single nave replaced the chapel and was built by Anne Pierre de Montesquiou, the king's musketeer. During the revolution, the priest being against the ban on worship, he fomented a riot. the national guard of Coulommiers disperses the inhabitants roughly. 17 villagers die, and 163 are taken prisoner, of whom 20 will be tried, charged and sentenced to death. The fountain made of sandstone and Meulière was part of a set of several constructions built by the Marquis de Montesquiou. It is the work of the architect Brogniard (the same one who designed the Palais de la Bourse in Paris.) Completed in 1764, this fountain is fed by a spring coming from l'Oursine (hamlet north of Mauperthuis.) Grace an ingenious system provides the water trough located at the same level as the fountain. Horses passing on the nearby road between Rosay and Coulommiers could rest and drink.
