Lavoir at Run Losquet (Île Grande)

Pleumeur-Bodou

About

This large, traditional "lavoir" – an open-air pool or basin set aside for clothes to be washed – is located on Île Grande and dates from the nineteenth century. Two sources supply it and can be seen at the foot of the retaining wall. At spring tide, it was filled with seawater, but, very quickly, the salt water was replaced with freshwater and washing could resume. Opposite the wash-pool is the Toëno peninsula, whose contours have changed significantly as a result of quarry mining. You can see the traces of this activity at the old quarry sites.
