Burdin mill party

On the occasion of the "Journées du patrimoine de pays et des moulins", the Burdin mill opens its doors to the public on Sunday 26 June. All day long, it will be possible to visit this flour mill dating from the 17th century, on a self-guided or guided tour, and to discover hydraulic energy and sustainable energy.

The Burdin Mill

RRestored and fitted out, this old grain mill is activated by an original system of horizontal wheels. Situated between Praranger and Saint-Marcel, the Burdin mill is a pleasant place, full of greenery, which invites you to contemplate and relax.

To get there: in the hamlet of Saint-Marcel, take the road on the left which goes down to the Iles car park (indicated by yellow signs). You can park at the car park of the Islands. From there, it's about a 20-minute walk to the mill.
