    Dating from the 16th century, the Moulin de la Falaise is an old "petit-pied" mill on the Guérande hillside, named the Sainte-Espérance mill. It was dismantled by a mill lover and rebuilt identically in 1925 at its current location on the Falaise dune. It was then abandoned for several years and even lost its roof and frame during a fire in 1978. Today renovated, the mill is surrounded by a natural space to rediscover where hundreds of rare species of wild orchids and a very varied fauna nestle. In 1990, it underwent a complete renovation which was completed in 1992, rigorously respecting the original architecture. The wings were by the city in 2012 and the canvases in 2015. Built in cut granite stone, its roof is made of chestnut wood tiles. Its amazing old-fashioned mechanism is still used today by a miller to transform organic buckwheat grain into organic buckwheat flour.
