    Tips

    May 12, 2024

    On the site of an old ordinary mill, dilapidated since the end of the 16th century, Father Deshayes, superior of the Montfortian communities, had a new mill built, reserved for the exclusive use of religious people.

    He then specifies that the establishment is intended to produce: “4,000 pounds of bread per week, of which 700 are distributed to the poor, and this usually”.

    This is not done without reluctance on the part of neighboring users, using the wash houses, watering troughs and fisheries, as well as the hydraulic power of the mills upstream.

    Originally, the mill had a paddle wheel, operating three pairs of millstones.

    The belfry is used to transmit the movement of the wheel to the millstones rotating thanks to the pit wheel and the fly wheels.
