Take a guided family tour in the fresh air to discover the Moulins de Pralognan: these two small buildings with their traditional architecture, dry stone and lauze roofs are characterized by their dug wooden water supply canal.

Description

One grinds grain, while the other is used as a museum.
Both have a single set of millstones and a horizontal turbine. Wheat is still ground as it was in the old days.
Thanks to the tenacity and hard work of the "Moulins et Patrimoine de Saint-André" association, five horizontal-wheel water mills have been restored to their original condition, and three are still in working order.
