The Birlot tide mill is located on the Kerpont channel, to the west of the island.

Considered one of the most beautiful in Brittany, the Birlot tidal mill is located on the Kerpont channel, to the west of the island. A 140-metre dike cuts through a cove to form a 2-hectare water reserve, which feeds the mill. Built between 1633 and 1638 and owned by the Seigneur de Bréhat, it was shut down around 1920 and restored in the 1990s. Since 1994, an association has been responsible for its restoration and seasonal operation. Thanks to the efforts of volunteers, the mechanism has been rebuilt and the mill has been producing buckwheat flour again since July 2022!

Si vous faite le tour de l'île à pied, il faut s'arrêter au moulin de Birlot visible depuis la chapelle St Michel le point le plus haut de l'île,
C'est un bel édifice bien restauré et fait partie des curiosités à découvrir sur l'ile .
Si vous avez la possibilité de le voir a marée Basse, Marée Haute ou au coucher de soleil, les photos sont toujours magnifiques .
Non loin vous avez le point de vue avec la croix de Maudez .

Le moulin à marée du Birlot est situé au sud-ouest de l'île de Bréhat. Il est toujours en bon état, avec notamment son réservoir d'eau et il est encore utilisé aujourd'hui.

Nous avons eu la possibilité de visiter ce moulin pour 1€. Une belle visite avec toute son histoire. Je recommande. Qui plus est les fonds vont permettre de restaurer ce moulin. Alors n'hésitez pas.
