The Saint Jacques mill was built in the early 19th century using a technique that was unusual for our region, as it is an Angevin-style capstan mill, imported by the Crusaders from North Africa.
It is recognisable by its masonry construction topped by a cone supporting a wooden cabin (the Hucherolle) which carries the sails and turns with the wind.
The municipality acquired this mill in 1985. After extensive renovation work, it resumed operation in 1994.
The mill is generally open from 2.30 pm to 3.30 pm on Fridays with a free guided tour (donations welcome) and for European Heritage Days.
