windmill was built by a local lord in 1555, and is the only windmill in
France that has been turning without interruption since its
construction.
Without any folklore or gimmicks the Burgaud family, descendants of a
long line of millers, continue to work this fascinating piece of
machinery using the techniques of previous generations.
