Heritage Contensousas Mill The mill was built around 1860 by the Contensousas family. Once thatched, the mill operated year-round, meeting the family's flour needs. The precious grains stored in the granaries were brought down to the mill by oxback. The water released from the sluice powered the mechanism. The rye flour was used to make bread pies and the buckwheat flour for tourtous (cakes). The mill stopped operating in 1950.

In this land of water, mills appeared in the Middle Ages. By the 19th century, Corrèze had hundreds of them. Modest in size, the mills were located on small waterways. The river was diverted by a canal (the millrace) to a reservoir (the étanchade) located above the mill. Its operation was simple and ingenious: a horizontal wooden spoon wheel, placed under the mill, drove the millstone running on the fixed millstone to grind rye and buckwheat.

The panoramic tower of Mont Bessou, located in Meymac, is a remarkable site in the Millevaches regional natural park in Limousin. Perched at a symbolic altitude of 1,000 meters, this 26-meter structure offers a breathtaking panorama, which even allows you to see as far as Puy-de-Dôme on a clear day. The site, complete with picnic tables, is also the starting point for numerous hiking trails.
