MOULIN DU PUY D'ARDANNE

Dominating the landscape, this mill-cavier can be seen from the Maison de Pays du Loudunais, on the N147 towards Poitiers. Its origins date back to the ^18th century, probably around 1730, and it is one of only six of its kind in the Vienne region. This windmill is typical of the Anjou region. Built on a hillock 124 meters above sea level, it ceased operating in 1890. The cellar still contains the millstones and a sifting room. It still has its wings, although they have curved over time. From the mill, take time to admire the lovely panorama over the valley.
