The Moulin de Montguimier is a 12th century mill that belonged to the monks of Saint-Jouin-de-Marnes. You can start your hike from the parking lot of the Saint-Généroux church, a remarkable example of Romanesque art. Cross the bridge over the Thouet and follow the yellow markings. You will pass an old lime kiln and enjoy the view of the valley and hills. You can also picnic by the river and relax in the shade of the walnut trees.

In the proverbial "good old days" of centuries past, this (former) windmill, standing in a very prominent position in the vast landscape, must have made a deep impression on the viewer. However, this changed a long time ago: the no longer intact tower stump is missing the wings, precisely those elements that were once so fundamental to the appearance of those four-armed giants (at least that is what the character "Don Quixote" invented by Miguel Cervantes thinks in one of the famous Spanish author's bizarre stories).
