The mill ceased all operations in early 1930. Large blocks of sandstone allowed the mill to cross the river without getting wet.

The ford at Saint-Loup-Lamairé is a stone ford which crosses the Thouet river in a natural and isolated setting. You can follow the GR 36, a secondary route of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage, and enjoy the view of the river and the surrounding countryside.

The Gué du Moulin neuf is a shallow ford where you can cross the river on foot or by bike, depending on the water level. Be careful not to slip on the rocks and wear suitable shoes.
