Geocache Description:


Le lavoir de Chavagneux est situé dans un petit quartier tranquille de la commune de Meximieux, ville qui contient bien d'autres lavoirs dans ses rues. Il fut construit en 1873 et fut en partie rénové en 2001 et 2002 par l'association internationale CONCORDIA. Il est alimenté par diverses sources en provenance de la colline. L'abreuvoir alimentait les habitants en eau fraîche l'été jusqu'aux années 1950. Autrefois, le lieu se nommait "Gnieux" et on disait également qu'un chat s'y rendait souvent, d'où le nom "Chavagneux".
