Lavoir des Chalands, Public fountain in Mont-de-Marsan, France.
The Lavoir des Chalands exhibits a semi-elliptical structure with ten stone arches supported by pillars along the Midouze River bank.
Built in 1870 according to plans by local architect Forignan, this washing house served as a central location for residents to clean their clothes.
This washing house represents the social practices of communal laundry washing, which formed an essential part of daily life in 19th century France.
The fountain stands near the TER station in the city center of Mont-de-Marsan, making it accessible for visitors arriving by train or bus.
The structure features a distinctive architectural design with ten arcade sections that extend over the water, following the curve of the riverbank.
