Hiking
Created before the revolution in 1787 by Louis Cognée, first of the name. Five generations of millers have succeeded each other over more than 170 years. The two mills, which now sketch old memories, have been classified as historic monuments since 1976.

Hiking
A literary – albeit rather bizarre-looking – monument to the windmills, with which our ancestors harnessed the energy of the wind centuries ago to move the large and heavy millstones, was set by the Spanish author Miguel de CERVANTES: his tragic hero in a novel Don Quixote wants to conquer them in one episode, believing he is fighting giants with four arms.
