Washhouse in operation until the 1990s
Before the introduction of running water in the houses, there were public washhouses in the villages where the women (usually maids) of the families washed the laundry. They were also places people went to socialize and socialize. An important part of women's social life took place there. A daily meeting place, so to speak, which made it possible to learn the latest news and gossip of the current country.
The first washerwomen were forced to wash in the river, on their knees and in the open air, whatever the weather.
