This former medieval mill in the Nauze valley was transformed into a wool mill in the 19th century. The association "Au Fil Du Temps" and the Community of Communes decided to rehabilitate this industrial heritage. Discover this spinning through demonstrations, workshops for all, interactive exhibitions, videos. The exterior of the mill, reach and stream, has been enriched with an educational pond offering all the biodiversity of the wetlands.
