It is one of the old fish farms. Since 1896, exactly. The Villette fish farm is now run by Emmanuel Coupin, fish farmer and biological engineer. Of course, you can come and fish, especially with your children (equipment provided, fish prepared...). Fishing enthusiasts will also find what they are looking for: koi carp (from April to September) or ornamental carp, from Japan. The ecomuseum traces the history of this old water mill, whose origins date back to the 16th century. Old accessories also recall the history of the Villette fish farm. Finally, in the local shop, you will find fresh products (trout, sturgeon) and dishes prepared on site such as smoked salmon, smoked trout (made on site) or Nordic dishes, as well as preserves and local products from the Yvelines region.
