This loop will take you past the Moulin de Marceau or “Marceau’s Mill”. As a child, Christian Paladel used to love coming to the mill with its owner, his uncle Marceau. In 2009, Marceau gave him the mill, and with the help of his son, Christian got to work straight away. Now you can find out more!

This is a small, family-friendly loop to discover the impressive restored heritage. The reconstruction of all the mechanisms, the sound of the water on the paddles and the rolling of the millstones will plunge you into the atmosphere of this place that’s steeped in history.
