A remarkable mill, a great place to visit in Batz-sur-Mer.
Originally located on the hillsides of Guérande. A miller welcomes you for a visit and sells his flour. This 16th century mill is characterized by its canvas wings. It is typical of the Guérande hillsides known as "à petit pied". The building is not cylindrical: the top supporting the wings is of a larger diameter than the base. The cut granite structure and the chestnut shingle roof are remarkable. The mill works with its old mechanism, crushing buckwheat between its 2 granite millstones of 1.5 tons.

Quel moment magique quand le meunier est venu, il a déplié les voiles et il a mis en route !!!! ????
Incroyable ????
Depuis sa construction en 1924-1925 sur cette "dune solide" qui s'appelle "La Falaise" (Le Rocher)
s'appelle, vous pouvez suivre la fabrication de la farine à partir du grain.
À l'étage supérieur, vous pouvez voir le mécanisme qui fait tourner la roue du moulin et au rez-de-chaussée, vous pouvez admirer le tamisage et la finition de la farine.
