It's also a lovely place to rest in the shade and cool your feet. But be careful! Due to the algae deposits, the ground is very slippery, so it's best to step in very carefully.

Historical washing place – in French, this is called a lavoir. In the past, before washing machines existed, villagers used these covered basins to wash their laundry. This is how it typically worked: Water source: The basin was usually directly connected to a spring or stream, so fresh water constantly flowed in and dirty water drained away. Working method: The women (often "women's work") knelt or stood at the edge of the basin and scrubbed clothes on washboards or directly on inclined stone slabs. Soap & Ash: Homemade soap or a solution made from wood ash was used. Rinsing & Wringing: The laundry was rinsed in clear water, wrung out vigorously, and then hung up to dry. Social meeting place: In addition to work, the lavoir was also a place for chatting, exchanging news, and sometimes even gossiping – essentially the village's "social network." Your photo also shows well how there are several pools

This small snack bar offers cool drinks, small snacks, and a magnificent view of the Loire. We rounded off the evening here with a glass of Crémant. This is what vacation feels like!
