Operated in its present form between 1836 and 1939, this flour mill is a rare jewel in our region's heritage, with its installations showing its evolution from milling to flour milling.
Now owned by the commune of La Bridoire, the site has been restored, safeguarded, animated and promoted by a team of volunteers from the association "À la découverte du passé de La Bridoire et de ses environs", in partnership with the commune. Their aim is to offer tours of the mill and its vernacular heritage at the same pace as the restoration work, to keep the mill "in its natural state", and to secure and organize the various areas for an educational and authentic discovery of how a 19th-century mill works.
