After leaving the chateau of Boutavert, Elisabeth continued on to Cortambert. Instead of driving through the town she made a sharp left and suddenly we were facing another "new" lavoir...
..."new" because it was another I have not seen before even though it is located relatively near to Blanot. There was water and hanging on the back wall was a sort of lending library. Flowers grew in profusion in the nearby gardens.
Sweet peas add pink to the lavender. I rather liked this gate and fencing.
We continued on and there around a bend in the road we found another lavoir. This one has flowers, but no books on the shelves, though there is place to water one's horse.
Elisabeth hopped out of the car to get this picture. Apparently a very good chocolatier once lived in Cortambert and many years ago had his business in the town.
My laptop says this next lavoir was actually in a hamlet called Toury, between Cortambert and Bray. It is small, but well cared for.
Flowers just keep happening...and plants are often the gift of choice for any occasion.
Then we were definitely in Bray, working our way in a circle back to Blanot, but first we stopped to enjoy two lavoirs in Bray.
The sign beyond the second one says we would be leaving Le Molard, a hamlet of Bray.
