Washhouse

LE BOURGUET

Photo Washhouse

The washhouse is leaning against a wall made of a set of limestone stones joined in a light colour.


The basin is composed of a rinsing tank next to a washing tank, with a washing surface made of inclined cut stones. The height of the bin makes it possible to classify it as a "standing" washhouse, as the laundresses can keep the laundry in an upright position to do the laundry. The exterior walls of the tank are now made of exposed stone.
The water is distributed through a duck head barrel. At the foot of the basin, we can see a water collection gutter and an inspection hatch. The soil surrounding the washhouse has been paved with jointed limestone slates. This washhouse is protected by a single-sloped lean-to on three modern pillars, stacking false stone elements.
