Saint-Vincent is a charming little village located a dozen km west of Cahors.
It extends along the Boudoyres or Bondoire stream which operated a series of mills.
Coming from the heights of Cambayrac, the Bondoire crosses the public square before flowing into the Lot.
The mills of Saint-Vincent (the lower mills, formerly fortified, in the middle which belonged to the rectory, and the upper one, owned by the Lafage family): the remains belong to private properties.
Before the industrial revolution, water was, along with wind, the only driving force. The Boudouyres stream (the Bondoire), a stone's throw from its confluence with the Lot, remains the vital element. Today for tourism, yesterday for its not always calm waters, which powered three mills.
Here, the low mill was once fortified. It was a mill with two millstones.
