You would know since you spend much of your time at your Glasgow friends place.
That's how I know weejies don't care for washing. ..themselves or their clothes... so obviously bemused at installing an outdoor laundrette. :LOL::LOL:..

They also have them at Intermarches and garages in Portugal.

The UK is first world, most people here have a washing machine at home. I dont think these washing stations at supermarkets are there primarily for the motorhomers. Do you?

Our commune (like many in our part of rural France) has a public, cold running water clothes washing area complete with in-built stone (or maybe concrete) washboards, open 24/7 and it's free ! Spaces for perhaps a dozen scrubbers. Plus free parking of course.

nowhere near long enough
We have one at our Super U in Oradour sur Vayres and I smile everytime I walk past it. There is no vandalism or graffiti on it, back in England it would be wrecked and the cash boxes rived out.

I always think about the vandalism and rubbish in UK when in France you hardly see any! Some of the seedier parts of big towns get a bit that way but we try to steer clear of those areas.

I use them frequently, so much easier than van or site alternatives.
I don't have a list of their locations but it would be very useful to have one.
With so many of us wandering that land maybe we should all keep a record of those we discover and put the details here somewhere - Resources?
I'd be quite happy to collate details from PMs and stick on a spreadsheet if that would help.
I think a list of the French Laveries would be a good idea.
I have two I know of
Intermarche at Le Haye de Puie (spelling?)
One at Lessay can't remember supermarche.
We are back house sitting after Xmas so will try to gather more info and more machines.

I would "imagine" the owner of the units must have all locations logged.... also would have thought they'd have a website... even if units are franchised I would have thought there must be some "marketing" info... somewhere... to encourage usage...

The lists just show Laundrettes, as we would call them, from the one company. I will have a search for the Revolution brand when I have a few more minutes.

Just had a look on Link Removed with the 87230 being my approx locality and the one I mentioned earlier in the thread isn't (yet) listed. However, the list does show one in Oradour-sur-Vayres (@laneside) perhaps at Super-U and another at Cussac. This second one is probably at the Intermarché there.
