Take a guided tour in the fresh air to discover the Moulins de Pralognan: these two small buildings with their traditional architecture, dry stone and slate roofs, are characterized by their hollowed-out wooden water channel.

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.
