BLÉCOURT WASH-HOUSE

If you go through this charming village, go to the Lavoir washing house. It is very original. Built in 1878 by Mr. Tiriot, then mayor and carpenter, this washer has a remarkably impressive configuration since it is half-spherical. Its charpente-shaped frame of vessel, concentrated around a unique punch. Its structure has a seven-sided roof. This wash was created to allow the ladies to wash their linen (before it had to take 3 kms to go to the fountain of the virgin in the forest) and irrigate the animals. In summer, it is flowered, like the whole village, and becomes a bucolic and refreshing place.
