This village full of flowers in the Marne enchants the passers-by and its wash-house, dating from 1845, shows how much the municipality was interested in its washerwomen, well sheltered from the inclement weather, these ladies could overcome their hard work. At that time, the washing of all the linen was done by hand, even the sheets, no machine obviously. It was not a matter of changing every day, it was once a week on Saturday, everyone was working on Saturday, but as the next day was a Sunday, everyone wanted to be beautiful. The very young children only were changed, the layers did not wait obviously, because they were of fabric, a very soft cloth.
