This mill remains today one of the rare authentic representatives of the old milling industry

In the heart of the Breton marshland, it is the only mill in France to have been constantly grinding by the force of the wind alone since 1560, when it was built by the lord of La Touche.

bel endroit
c'est extraordinaire qu'un moulin à vent se soit maintenu ici en fonctionnement depuis le 16ème siècle. Tout y est beau, le paysage, le moulin. Mais il y a le tarif un peu lourd pour les gens aux ressources modestes. En fait , une famille gère ce site , das une région où le tourisme est vigoureux.Elle doit en vivre. En fait il vaut mieux visiter ce lieu hors saison. Le village de Sallertaine , à 2 km est adorable.L'artisanat y est de qualité, et l'esprit artistique rayonne chez certains artisans.
