Lavoirs de Bouvesse-Quirieu

The commune of Bouvesse-Quirieu has one washhouse per hamlet: Bouvesse, Chavanne, Enieu, Marlieu, Quirieu, Le port de Quirieu and le Bayard.
Originally made up of very basic water reservoirs dug near streams, they were called "gabouillons" in the region.
All the wash houses are built on the same plan with a roof to protect the washerwomen from bad weather and the sun and to provide lighting, a wall never stands opposite the work surface.
