The Moulin de Vanneau – For young and old:
make an excursion into the beginnings of the twentieth century and discover the live of the burgundian farmers, see the last working watermill of the region, have a walk in the marsh after greeting our animals beeing at large in our pedagogical farm of yesteryear. And as we know that the way to your heart goes through your stomach, we will offer you the delicious taste of burgundy prepared with organic, seasonal and local products !
For a handful of centuries this place was teeming of the miller and his family slogging away helped by their animals and the villagers. We keep up this memories and also want to show a natural, educational and environmental-friendly behaviour.
Discover the importance of a watermill in the peoples' evolution and see the rarity in functionning. At the same time you will see our draft horses beeing at work breathing life into the old machines while farrier and blacksmith are forging. You will be sourrounded by the animals during your visit of the millers' habitation, the museum of tools and the collection of old machines. Our marsh, a Natura2000-zone puts up a large variety of medicinal and protected plants.
This year our traditional harvest from august 9th to 13th brings together craftsmen as traditional bakers, blacksmiths,clogs manufacturer, beekeepers,...
We look forward to welcome you and give you the oppurtunity to set time aside !
