Petit édicule édifié à l'époque du Second Empire et lié à l'aménagement de l'espace communal. Une petite construction en granit est adossée à un mur de soutènement et s'ouvre, en façade antérieure, par un arc brisé. Elle définit un espace rectangulaire qui abrite deux cuves rectangulaires maçonnées, au rebord en dalles de granit. L'eau, canalisée, y est projetée par une ouverture percée dans le mur du fond.
Communal Washhouse
Small aedicule built during the Second Empire and linked to the development of the communal space. A small granite construction is leaning against a retaining wall and opens, on the front façade, with a pointed arch. It defines a rectangular space that shelters two rectangular masonry tanks with granite slab edges. The water, channeled, is projected through an opening in the back wall.
