WASHING

Washing are very present in Haute-Marne, there are everywhere in villages and some are beautiful (143 referenced); Chateauvillain doesn't escape this beautiful rule! Built at the Revolution, the wash-house located on the fountain of the Fountain, features the particularity of being equipped with a floating wooden flooring. Now we can better understand how lavandières, thanks to this ingenious system, can adjust the height of the wooden wooden floor on which they washed.
