LAVOIR ET FONTAINE DE L'AIGUILLON SUR VIE

This washhouse, built at the beginning of the 20th century, was once a public basin where women went to wash their clothes with water from a nearby spring. At the time, many villages had their own washhouse (protected from rain and bad weather), but many were destroyed with the arrival of the washing machine.
Forgotten for around twenty years, it was restored in 1993, and the washhouse at l'Aiguillon sur Vie, a key part of the town's heritage, is accompanied by a small fountain.
