MARGUET MILL

In 1860, the Jura had 1 500 mills, including that of Voiteur. Jules, the great grandfather then made wooden wheels. After the First World War, Georges, his son, continued to live the place. He was the only employee of the mill and manufactured, aided by the hydraulic force of the mill, taps for barrels (we are in a country of wine) and then des games that he delivered to Paris. From his "retirement", he transformed the wood into fayes, these sticks that are ignited on Christmas Day. But, with his disappearance in 1996, the mill fell asleep and could have fallen into oblivion. Her granddaughter Nathalie Durand-Breton, who was very attached to family heritage, then decided otherwise: assisted by her husband, they rehabilitate the place and thus regularly, the time of concerts, animations, heritage days, noise of saws and engines resonate again. On a simple appointment, the owners will be happy to have you visit this treasure which testifies to the birth of the industrial age.

The mill Marguet is part of the thirty-five comtois mills on the road to the mills. At the end of June, you will be able to attend special animations in honour of National Mills Day.
