Cycling

Built in the 18th century, the Moulin des Aieux produced oil until 1789. It was then left inactive for ten years. In 1806, it was transformed into a wheat mill and remained in activity until 1952. Its wheel, completely renovated, turns again. It has kept its interior mechanism on three floors.

Historic water powered mill named after 'The Ancestors'. Built in the 18th century, the Moulin des Aieux produced oil until 1789. It was then left inactive for ten years. In 1806, it was transformed into a wheat mill and remained active until 1952. Its wheel, completely renovated, turns again. The old mill building has kept its interior mechanism on three floors.
