MILL OF CHITRÉ
The mill on the Vienne, a site offering a page of history to discover on guided family tours.
Located on the Vienne river, with a view on the dam and the "porte marinière", there is an old flour mill from the Middle Ages, modernized in the 19th century with the installation of a machinery. Its history is closely linked to the "people of Chitré" occupying the neighboring castle that it supplied with "ice cubes". You should visit the ice house and the museum, in the attic, which presents two documentaries, on water in general and on its link with the extraction of millstones from the Pinail. The miller's house is also open to visitors.
