A beautifully restored old watermill, in the heart of a beautiful natural site.

19th century church whose unfinished bell tower was topped with a slate spire which clashes a little - a lot - with the rest of the monument.

The River House is a preserved natural setting spanning over 10 hectares where art and nature blend together. Imagine a river and its watermill, surrounded by 10 hectares of nature... Boat trips on the Grande Maine, family treasure hunts, twilight strolls, onboard drinks, and an art exhibition with free access on the shaded banks and in the old mill.
