le Mausolée de Espérance Rousseau (1882-1936). Originaire d’Oulmes, cultivateur et éleveur de moutons, il a habité la propriété sise au 14 route de Fontenay. D’un voyage à Maghreb, vers 1930, cet homme aux idées originales a rapporté le plan de l’un des édifices funéraires des « marabouts » et a décidé qu’à son décès une construction semblable serait érigée sur sa tombe et celle de ses ascendants dont les sépultures étaient sur sa propriété. Par testament, il lègue à la commune cette parcelle de terre et la somme nécessaire à la construction de l’ouvrage ainsi qu’à son entretien. Sur le fronton du mausolée figure l’inscription : « Aujourd’hui moi, demain toi ».
