This pretty wash-house, situated on the outskirts of the village, opens onto the street, revealing its rectangular basin.
The fountain is already mentioned on the 1812 land register as a "stone fountain" (stones used for kneeling).
It was in 1843 that the need for a washhouse at the Bonne Fontaine was declared. Saddle stones were installed over a length of 7.33 m and a width of 5.33 m.
Ten years later, work began on the construction of the washhouse, and it was finally in 1866 that it was decided to cover the washhouse.
