Moulin de Raire
Sallertaine. Tel 02 51 35 51 82

This 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.
Take a tour of this astonishing and ingenious historic monument and the listen to the commentary provided.
