Jouarre never lacked water. At the origin of the village, it was necessary to clean up the area which was swampy. The foundations of some of the Abbey’s buildings rest on oak trunks embedded in wet clay. The community of the abbey of Jouarre living according to the rule of St.Benedict builds its buildings according to vital needs and water is part of it. Discover the sources, wash houses and vivier of the abbey.
