Lavoirs d'Ormoy

We found three lavoirs in this village on 18th July 2021.  All three were on the banks of the lock cut.  One was a covered lavoir standing slightly back from the cut and the other two were simple washing stones at the water's edge.

Rue Neuve

This is the covered lavoir that can be reached by walking down from the rue Neuve.  It was surprisingly dark inside compared to other covered lavoirs we have come across. 







Washing stones (east end)

These were just downstream of the flood gates.





Washing stones (west end)

These were about 100 metres downstream of the previous washing stones.
