The mill In the 19th century, three mills stood upstream, the oldest being the paddle wheel, leaving the construction of two others. The downstream one is no longer used as a mill. It was originally intended for flour production and in 1946, nut oil production was started (the only activity currently maintained). After more than 40 years of business interruption and under the influence of a common will, this factory was relaunched in 1995. Khanat. Main Bimey, AB 12 MB 1 With the help of various professions, teachers and high school students from the University Monge de Chambéry, the Association of the Friends of the Mill, this mill restored according to the rules of art , opens you its doors. Doors with which you can discover the crafts of the past. Stone building, 60 m2 This mill is equipped with an iron wheel 6.30 m in diameter which gave it its energy. The mill: On the ground floor, there are still stone wheels used in the production of flour (wheat, but etc ...). The walnut oil mill: On the ground floor, a stone mill was milled. This paste thus obtained is then dehydrated and then rolled up in a cloth called scourtin and placed in the hydraulic press to extract its oil first under cold pressure. At the end of the pressing, we bring back the cake (use flour). Individuals can bring their nut kernels or hazelnut almonds and go with their first cold-pressed oil. meaning

This watermill was in operation for 40 years. It has been restored to its original condition, and its paddle wheel now allows the gears and thus the millstone to rotate. The aroma of walnut and hazelnut oil, which has been pressed here for years, can be smelled throughout the interior.
