    Hiking

    The Molino Avon is an old windmill in Fontvieille, the charming town in Provence, southern France. The mill was built in the 18th century and was originally used to produce flour from grain. However, over the years, due to technological advances and the use of steam and electric grinders, it became “redundant”.

    Finally, in the 1950s, the Molino Avon was restored and converted into a residence by an artist named Jean-Marie Fage, but was restored again in 1998 and turned into a museum, showing visitors the history of the mill and the traditional craft of milling grain .
