Lavoir de Saulchery

An impluvium style lavoir which is also stream-fed.  It has been restored and now has metal foxes on the walls and roofs.  These foxes depict Aesop's fox and the grapes fable or rather the 17th century Frenchman, Jean de la Fontaine's, version of it.

Saulchery is in department 02 - Aisne and we visited this lavoir on 16th August 2019.
