Laundries and Fountains - 2.

Easter Monday, 6th April 2015.  Not as much sunshine today but still pleasant enough to resume our search for more laundries and fountains in the area…







We are getting the hang of things now and looking in the bottom of village valleys by the rivers to find les lavoirs and found this laundry opposite the River Othain...

















Ron noticed that the roof was of stone which had been cut and fitted to shape...




We had parked just past the laundry, near the end-of-the-village sign and just beyond that spotted another building by the river...












The path was very muddy, but Ron went to investigate...




This didn't seem to be a laundry and we wondered what its past use could be.  The building has been kept in very good order.




Then on to our final destination of the day...


 ...and back home for a welcome cuppa.

Another good day lavoir-and-fontaine hunting.

  1. These hunts can take you to surprising places that otherwise you would never visit. Fascinating theme.
