The wash-houses along the Orge River
In Dourdan, the Orge River crosses the town and offers a walk along its shores, where we can see the remains of several wash-houses.
About
The Orge River, a 54 km long tributary of the Seine, appears in the surroundings of the Beauce Region, in Saint Martin de Bréthencourt between Ablis and Dourdan.
Many industries and artisans set up near the river: manufacturer, potters, rope makers and especially the millers.
The Orge River supplied several mills, of which only one still works but doesn’t use the hydraulic power.
