Roman Path
This way leads to the old washhouse:
Built near saint Rémy's spring, in the direction of the road to Roquecourbe, on the site where rose the constructions of the first inhabitants of Lautrec.
Reconditioned first time at the instigation of the MJC, this old washhouse situated at the foot of the village belongs to the local heritage.
Victim of a natural disaster, it was recently restored by the municipality of Lautrec. |
