The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Il s'agit du seul lavoir couvert de l'île, qui servait à toute la population. Une nappe phréatique ainsi qu'un ruisseau acheminent l'eau jusqu'au lavoir. Cet édifice témoigne de la vie locale de l'époque de la Grande Pêche.

This is the only covered washhouse on the island, which served the entire population. A water table as well as a stream bring water to the washhouse. This building is testimony to the local life of the era of the Grand Fishery.
