We found this lavoir in Millery on 13 September 2022. The lavoir was originally built in 1811 but was badly damaged in WWII after which is was rebuilt along the same lines as the original using war compensation funding. Unfortunately, the wooden frame began rotting and it had to be dismantled in the 1970s. In 2010 it was rebuilt on the same lines again, using local oak and reclaimed tiles with the help of la foundation du patrimoine or heritage fund.
