A path, a school: Les Lavoirs

Heading back up towards the source of the Tronne
A small stream originates in a place called Bausdisson.
It flows through the town from north to south and joins the Loire after a journey of around twelve kilometres.

In fact, Mera means "marsh" or "place covered with water" in Latin, which is the origin of the name Mer.
