Fontaine lavoir

Rue du Pontet, 06660 Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage

Description

At the top of the village of Saint Dalmas le Selvage, discover a pretty washhouse with a lion-head fountain still in use.
The commune of Saint Dalmas le Selvage has two lavoirs, including this one in the heart of the village. In days gone by, this convivial place was a place where women met and chatted, but only during the summer months. In winter, water was scarce and more difficult to access. To draw it, you had to clear the snow and break the ice before accessing it.
