Bascule communale

As in many villages in France, Montmançon had a public weighbridge to weigh animals, hay and grain (wheat...) for sale.

The scales could weigh up to 15 tonnes. The measuring weight was located inside a building that no longer exists. Use of the communal weighbridge gradually declined until it disappeared in the second half of the 20th century.
