LIGHT MILL

This mill, built in 1762 by Louis-Eustache Lambert Dumont, is the oldest flour mill in the country operating thanks to the strength of the water. He celebrated his 250 years in 2012. He has never stopped planting grain since his inception. He also retained his original stone grinding. Each year, sucker produces 30 to 40 tonnes of wheat and buckwheat flour, according to traditional methods. These are sold in detail in pockets from 1 kg to 20 kg. He was listed in Historic Monuments by the Government of Quebec in 1976 and was also in 2000 as a national historic site by the Government of Canada. The Corporation of the Légaré Légaré is now involved in the administration of the mill and organizes numerous visits (mill, Manor House-Sauvé, Old Sint Eustatius…) and activities.
