Behind its vast facade of country stone and land, the long mill, built in 1276, preserved its structure: a chamber of the stones under which the wheels and the transmission trees are carried out and the flour thames. The wooden butterfly is still there. A souvenir of the Count of Champagne, who owned a castle and two three-wheeled mills in Soulaines, this mill is decorated with a traditional lace that borders the basin. The weir is the visitor. The mill is also a guest room and we will be happy to explain how this mill works. The house has preserved this beautiful set and also welcomes your animals. The view is peaceful, with all the charm of the old buildings. You will be 20 km from the Nigloland theme park.

The Royer family really works to perpetuate the heritage. And with the installation of the sixth generation, Jean-Louis and his wife Edith, the tuilery is taking the cake. She was passionate about pottery, and she installed his workshop, alongside the manufacture of craft tiles with tours and demonstrations, at small prices. So we can discover the tiles made by Jean-Louis, and Edith's works: nest boxes, oils, Middle Ages… The rooms are all baked. Royer tuilery organizes traineeships or refreshments during holidays. If you are lucky, you will arrive at the time of the "big fire": A large oven is lit for nine days for cooking 100 m ³ of tiles. Impressive!
