Water is a unique and unequally shared common good throughout the world.
Every day, each of us benefits.
But do we know this natural and architectural heritage well?
Sources and wash houses are elements of this very common heritage in the Eure but which the passerby only sees very quickly. Yet these forgotten basins have been particularly important in the daily life of our ancestors since the 19th century.
In the middle of the 20th century, the washhouse gave way to the washing machine, much more practical. Who today remembers the washers and washers?
On the occasion of the Heritage Days, as part of a small guided tour, come and discover part of this forgotten heritage of our villages. For young and old.
