Lavoirs d'Hautvillers

Hautvillers is a pretty and very well to do Champagne village where we found two lavoirs on 5th November 2019.  Hautvillers is in department 51 - Marne. 

Rue de Tahus

This is one of our favourite lavoirs.  It was built in 1833 and is nicely preserved.  It has a stream fed raised washing pool with overhead hanging rails.  In common with other buildings in the village it has a wrought iron sign depicting the trade of the building.









Rue de Champillon

We were unable to obtain access to this lavoir so here are a couple of shots of the outside.
