    The mill of Saint-Germain

    At the entrance to the small town there is an ancient water mill dating back to the end of the 17th century. Externally you can appreciate the stone building and the large wooden wheel, the result of a restoration strongly supported by the villagers between 1987 and 1989.

    Inside there are the mechanisms of the mill - today made of metal but once entirely made of wood - the bread oven and a small museum dedicated to the peasant life of the past.

    In summer, bread is still baked as it once was: the oven today, as then, is lit on the eve of the day using the wood brought by the villagers. Once baked, the breads were preserved by air drying on special wooden racks suspended from the ground to protect them from mice. To consume it it was necessary to break it into pieces and soften it in soups or in milk, wine or broth.
