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

Nice and agreeable path along the Villaine river with ample shade. Best for strolls. If on a bike, please be courteous to walkers and watch out for the kids. There are many running around.

The wash house is located just opposite the body of water (unfortunately not visible in the photo). Formerly used for washing, it now serves more as a historical monument.

The current church is placed under the protection of Saint-Martin-de-Tours, a famous Roman legionary from the 3rd century who cut his coat in two to clothe a poor destitute. Having become a monk, the inhabitants of Tours forced him to become their bishop. The church is located on the site of the old building which is said to date back to the 8th century but no trace of it remains. A new church was rebuilt in 1646. The bell tower was restored after the fire of 1911.
