History In the 19th century, the municipality built a covered lavoir: a stone washhouse with a large basin, fed by the water of the nearby streams in the Crise Valley. Here, the laundrettes (washerwomen) gathered to do their laundry, protected from the sun and rain. Until the arrival of tap water and washing machines, the lavoir was an essential village building, as well as a place for meeting and sharing.

It's remarkable to come across something like this in the middle of nowhere. You wonder what it is and why it's there. 🧺 Lavoir de Maast-et-Violaine (also called "Lavoir de Chantrenne") At the foot of the Maast slope, at the intersection of the D831 and the hamlet of Violaine, you'll find this beautiful lavoir. The covered washhouse dates back to the 19th century and was used daily by the laundrettes (washerwomen) of the Crise Valley. Here they washed linen in the spring and stream water, protected from rain and sun. The building was recently restored to its original state and now forms a special heritage site in the village. A picnic table next to the lavoir makes it an ideal resting spot for walkers and cyclists. 📸 View the photo series of this lavoir here: Gallery “Les lavoirs de l'Aisne – Maast-et-Violaine” https://www.notre-passion-des-lavoirs.com
