the laundrette of Valentins, near of the brook to the Cousin
the laundrette of the street Saint-Vincent in the borough
the laundrette of the hamlet of Moutiers
the laundrette of the hamlet of Longchêne, located in edge of a pond

Put besides that of Longchêne somewhat at the abandonment and, at the very least, less better maintained, the others profited from a recent restoration and are really admirable.
