Located near the fulling mill of the same name, the stone ford of Rochemenue dates from 1937. It was used by mules, loaded with sacks of wheat on the way out and flour on the way back, to cross the river. The master crossed dry on the large stones placed on the side. Now you just have to worry about crushing it yourself!

This 11th century chateau and its parterre gardens can be hired for weddings and events. Its impressive moat and drawbridge give you an idea of its important defensive position.
