RAMBOURG MILL
A water mill where the wheel is the engine, the millstream is the reservoir and the water is the energy
The Rambourg mill is a water mill where the wheel is the engine, the millstream is the reservoir and the water is the energy. It dates from the first half of the 20th century. It is the only survivor of the 40 water mills of the Yon. It is a mill known as "à reprise" because the grain went through the machines several times to obtain the flour. The last miller ceased all activity in 1981, making the park a popular place for walking or mountain biking, fishing and from April to the end of September, you can go canoeing (information at the campsite).

on regrette que la visite se fasse sans la mise en route de la machinerie, mais il faudrait trouver des pièces, et surtout porter des protections anti-bruit, ce qui nuirait à l'écoute des commentaires du guide pourtant très pertinents. Il reste encore de l'eau dans la rivière Yon, presque étonnant quand on sait les dégâts que l'agriculture locale engendre pour les cours d'eau. On peut regretter que ce moulin soit trop souvent fermé hors saison
