Did you know that?

The name Bressols may have come from the Gallic name Brictus, successor of the bishop Saint-Martin of Tours.

This name would have become “brès” (cradle in Occitan) to which the suffix-ol would have been added. During the 19th century, archaeological excavations found some cut flints, Celtic axes and ruins of Gallo-Roman villas!

The name of the town can also be traced to that of the Brazols family, co-lords of the commune.

Treasures

heritage

The Lavoir de Touron dates from 1850. Under a roof of old woodwork, women came, at the time, to wash clothes in its basins. Especially on Monday mornings, appointment of all the discussions of the neighborhood!

The former faïencierde Bressols drew water from it to work on his clay creations.

Be sure to look at the washhouse, a plaque commemorating the terrible crash of 1930 is affixed to one of the two basins.
