The Rédounel windmill is one of the first mills on the Larzac causses. It accompanied the agricultural activities of the Templars established in La Couvertoirade from the 12th century. It has been restored and is still in remarkable condition today.

Long before the discovery of electricity and the associated inventions, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand were useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as a force of nature - for various purposes. A suitable example of the human ingenuity of earlier generations is such a mill: the heavy millstones with which, for example, grain was ground into grain or oil was pressed, could be powered with the help of water or - as here - the wind. Hardly any of them still fulfill their original functions today, but fortunately some have at least been preserved as evidence of the old days.
