This old servant goes round and round and round for a long time to come. The only "organic" mill in the Jura (Ecocert label) and the last water mill in Franche-Comté, it never ceases to amaze young and old alike. The Magdelaine family has owned it for 7 generations. But it appears in deeds in 1362, entering into the share of the local lord Eudes de Vaudrey. Built on the Cuisance, a tributary of the Loue, flanked by its paddle wheel, its stone millstone grinds the grains tirelessly to bequeath wheat, rye, spelt and buckwheat flours. Type 45 and 55, they are suitable for classic pasta or bread dough, i.e. 500 tons per year. A great merit is due to its managers for having set up a circuit with free or guided visits to transmit this memory of the medieval heritage. In the end, a visit to the "regional products" shop will satisfy even the most demanding visitors. The doors are also open on the third Sunday in June each year. Not to be missed! Including for groups who can use a reception room for 60 people.
