Les lavoirs des Jarousses

This site features a fountain built on a square plan, with three sides formed by three cut granite blocks on which rests a cut slab (three edges). The opening is secured by a grate. Near the fountain, two cylindrical bollards were used to place the buckets and hoist them with the "palanche" (a pole). Behind the fountain, a drinking trough (approx. 50m²) is bordered by a low wall at the end of which four rectangular washing stones have been added. Opposite this complex is a square wash-house on a private estate. It is fed by the Jarousses fountain.
