The Lavoir de Birac is just a few steps from the Notre-Dame church, which is also called Notre-Dame des Vallées by the residents of the municipality. The washhouse has a pitched roof with rounded tiles, supported by four white limestone pillars.
The basin of the Lavoir de Birac is divided into two sections: spring water emerges in the smaller basin, while the larger basin was formerly used for washing clothes. Several wash stones at the Lavoir de Birac recall two major annual household washings that lasted several days and were attended by the village residents.
