LE LAVOIR DES ESSARTS

In the 1990th century: construction of the modern castle as well as the concierge of the castle, called "Chalet" by the Essartais. Near this building, Baron de Lespinay had a basin dug and paved with granite stone. This basin was used to wash the horses, which after their day's work, entered it to be cleaned. A little later, the town whose mayor is Armand de Rougé added a reservoir and a washhouse to the basin. This wash house was a privileged meeting place in the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries for the women of the district. They were called "the washerwomen". The municipality decided to restore it in the early XNUMXs.
