The Cézille mill is a typical watermill from the Bresse region. It formerly used the motive power of the Reyssouze, an emblematic river of the region, to grind the product of the important local grain cultivation. Today it houses a museum.

The La Charme manor house in Montrevel-en-Bresse is a beautiful two-story, half-timbered building, which dendrochronology tells us dates precisely to 1497. A representative example of an entire family of earth and wood buildings threatened with extinction simply due to their fragility and little known due to their dispersal, it undoubtedly constitutes, along with the Saracen chimney farms, the most original settlement in Bresse, and as such is an integral part of the irreplaceable national heritage.

With its Saracen chimney, vast outbuildings, circulation galleries and spacious courtyard, the farm is a remarkable example of typical Bresse architecture.
