Visite commentée “kanndi restauré”

A remarkable testimony to the flax industry in the Monts d'Arrée.

All that remained of the Rozonoual kanndi (flax yarn laundry) was a pile of stones covered in vegetation and hiding the washing vats and basin. It was rebuilt in the traditional way by volunteers from the Lichen association, without modifying the original interior fittings. The washhouse was used by washerwomen until the 1970s.

It has all the traditional features of a linen washhouse: a chimney to heat the water drawn from the nearby river, a stone vat for washing the yarn in hot water, and a spring that feeds an indoor basin with running water for rinsing with clear water.
