At the crossroads of the "Promenade d'Entre-deux-murs" and the "Promenade d'Entre-deux-eaux", on the right, along the mill canal, is a small wash-house. Behind it, on the left, is a late 18th-century house built by the last commendatory abbot of Auberive as an auditorium and prison for delinquents arrested on the abbot's land, and later as a school for the children of the abbey's farmers and converses, whose charming miniature washhouse was used by future housewives.|On the left is the stele erected in 1907 in honour of André Theuriet of the Académie Française, whose bronze bust was rebuilt in 1998 by the Rouelles sculptor J.M. MAILLARD following a theft. This poet-literary took advantage of his short stay in Auberive to write a collection of poems ("in Mémoriam") and amass the material for some twenty novels about nature and the wild landscapes around Auberive ("Reine des Bois", "Sauvageonne" and "Sous-Bois"...).
