History
The Lavoir du bourg was planned as a covered public washhouse on the Gée, in the school garden near the laundry room. As part of the 2002 Heritage Days, the Lavoir du bourg was brought back to life; Eugénie and Augustine speak there in dialect about life in transition. In the same context, the Fontaine des Lavoir du bourg tells the fable “Le corbeau et le renard”.
