Why this tag ?

I didn't find any tag for this kind of building. A "lavoir" is a place for washing clothes. They are frequently next to a river or a pound. Lavoirs can use well, stream or source water...

In modern countries, they have an historic interest (they also can be used by walkers or cyclists to have a break) whereas in undeveloped areas (where there's no running water) people use lavoirs, that's why historic=* seems inappropriate and we may use amenity=* key instead.

There are a lot of lavoirs in France, more or less one per village, 3 and more in cities. They also exists in others countries, so a tag may be created.

Which tag to use ?
