A wash-house with two cast-iron columns on the façade. The wash basin has rounded ends and high niches. On the outside, the trough follows the shape of the basin and is fed by a mascaron with a swan-neck tap.
Inside, a commemorative plaque: on 14 September 1944, in the turret of his tank, Marshal Guy Dalle, Père Blanc, was shot dead by a German sniper posted in the bell tower: he had refused to fire on the "House of God".

Nearby: stele in tribute to Captain Y. Hervouët (1920-1954), wounded at Belmont in 1944, who died for France in Indochina.
