Water and Paths
The Lavoir de Saint-Philbert-des-Champs was built in 1906. It has a rectangular concrete basin, an original earth floor and a surrounding brick wall. Due to a construction error in the water drainage system, it was never used for washing clothes; instead, the residents drew drinking water there.
The Lavoir de Saint-Philbert-des-Champs is supplied by the Fontaine des Boudards, also known as the Fontaine d’Anjou. The lavoir is located on a walking trail and can be reached on foot or by bicycle.
