There is a small parking lot here, for a maximum of five cars. There are also public toilets, shower, tables and benches. Idyllically laid out, the* seven mills* are an experience where natural beauty meets the hard work of previous generations. The path is a bit challenging but worth it.

The lagoon was built by the monks of the monastery between 1500 and 1530, damming the waters of several streams that form the source of the Tambre river. The function of the reservoir, in addition to bringing running water to the monastery's kitchens, was to irrigate its meadows and move its mills. After five centuries, the lagoon is a perfect natural recreation area. great rest stop
