The Lavoir (French lavoir for wash house) in Mons-sur-Orge , a district of the French town Athis-Mons in the Essonne department of the Île-de-France region , was built at the end of the 18th century.

The wash house on rue de la Montagne-de-Mons has a four-sided monopitch roof on wooden pillars that frame a water basin. This is fed by a well, which also supplied the residents with water.
