    The washhouse of the fountain of the pots is placed along a pleasant forest path to walk.
    The basin surrounded by a wide limestone edge is decorated with a small bench, offering a clear view of the clearing and the fields below.
    The origin of the name comes from the old hemp crops present in the region in the 19th century.
    The recovery of the textile fibers of the plant was done after soaking, or retting, in pots, immersed in the basin.
