The washing had an important social function. The wasing was physically very difficult. Also, the fact of practicing collectively made it more easily bearable: the women could discuss together, joking, singing ... Conflicts also arose at times. For these reasons, a number of "codes" developed around laundries: official rules regarding their attendance, religious taboos, traditions to respect ... history of this particula lavoir is unknown, but the place has strong atmosphere, genius loci.
