This 12th-century tide mill features remarkable Renaissance decorative elements (dormer windows, modillions, and sculptures of Abelard and Heloise). Initially a seigneurial and then monastic property, it changed hands in 1380. Renovated in the 18th century and enlarged in the 19th, it ceased operation in 1921. Listed as a historic monument in 1933, it was transformed into a restaurant before becoming a cultural space managed by the municipality since 2007.

Oysters are available from the producer in front of the gate. You can also sample them in the small restaurant next door.

The entire complex, including the castle and the surrounding small village, is certainly unique. Its proximity to the beautiful beach makes it a perfect destination for families.
