Presentation of: MOULIN A EAU DE DOLBEAU
From a simple water mill on the banks of the River Vie, it became a major flour mill in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, until 1928 when it was destroyed by fire. A distillery was built on the ruins in 1935, but ceased operations in the 1960s.
Today, the distillery is no longer in operation, but the mill lends the site a pastoral charm. The rails of the old railway line running through the hamlet have been given a new lease of life with the arrival of the Vélorail, offering fantastic rides between Commequiers and Coëx.
