Hiking
In this land of water, mills appeared in the Middle Ages. By the 19th century, Corrèze had hundreds of them. Modest in size, the mills were located on small waterways. The river was diverted by a canal (the millrace) to a reservoir (the étanchade) located above the mill. Its operation was simple and ingenious: a horizontal wooden spoon wheel, placed under the mill, drove the millstone running on the fixed millstone to grind rye and buckwheat.
