We have found two lavoirs in Blesmes which is in department 02 - Aisne and we visited them on 30th September 2019.
Lavoir on Rue de Corboin
Sadly, this lavoir is badly graffitied. It has either been rebuilt or is a more modern than usual as it has a date of 1934 above one of the doors and is also built of modern bricks.
It is stream fed by the stream that runs through the village and also has an impluvium style roof. It still has some drying rails.
Lavoir on Place de la Mairie
This lavoir is stream fed but has an impluvium style roof. It is badly graffitied as are the placards depicting the Jean de la Fontaine fable, the Old Man and the Donkey. A concrete donkey outside the lavoir has sadly had its head broken off.
