Mill - 17th & 18th centuries - Limestone.
The Couret paddle mill, known as "Le Petit Couret", has preserved mullioned bays and splayed corners dating back to the Renaissance. One lintel bears an illegible 18th-century date. Powered by a pair of grindstones, the mill operated until around 1920. The millstones, in good condition, were then sold. With the water passage closed, the wheel quickly silted up and the remaining mechanical stones were buried under a thick layer of silt. The paddlewheel was over 3 meters in diameter. One of the wheel's metal flanges, removed from the spinning wheel, rests against the façade. The wheelwork has been preserved in good condition, but the millstream has been filled in.
