The Washhouse Square, also known as the «tanfasian» square, was built in 1924 on the square next to the castle by the Viscount de Bonfils, mayor of Mollégès. This construction was part of a series of urbanization works that were relatively expensive.
As a result, opponents of the mayor would say in Provencal, «amé tant de frés, tant fasian aco... o tant fasian come aco...» (With so much expense, we might as well have done this... or that...). As a result, the mayor’s friends jokingly referred to this square as the «tanfasian» square.
