One of many beautiful views of the reservoir.

This superb town, located on the edge of the Dordogne, is worth a stop. It has been known since the Gallic era. The place was strategic and has remained so throughout history. The town controlled the access linking Armorica to the Mediterranean Sea. This situation made it a place where wealth circulated. It was in the 18th and 19th centuries that its economic growth increased thanks to the use of barges, these flat-bottomed boats that could navigate shallow waterways.

Nowadays, very few mills are still in operation in their original function, but appear to cyclists along the river as technical-historical monuments of an ancient craft tradition: The heavy millstones inside were moved solely through human ingenuity and the power of the chestnut water as driving energy, so that, for example, grains could be ground into flour (so-called grain mills) or oil could be pressed from (e.g. olive) fruits (so-called oil mills). .
