Dozens of windmills once lined the coastline of Mont-Saint-Michel Bay. Very few remain today. One is the Moulin de la Saline north of Cherrueix. It was built in 1827 and was in operation until the 1940s. In the 1990s, the municipality of Cherrueix purchased the mill and outbuildings. By 2008, the mill, including the chestnut wood mill wings, had been completely restored. The Moulin de la Saline is functional and open to visitors.
