Location
59 miles from Toulouse and 15.5 miles from Castres (airport).
4.7 miles from a small town with all amenities as well as infant, primary and secondary schools.
In a completely unspoilt, unpolluted, peaceful setting, dominated by forests criss-crossed with numerous hiking trails and punctuated with lakes and clear rivers in the midst of the Sidobre granite boulders. A region long troubled by religious rivalry in the 16th and 17th century which has left its architectural mark.
This region has, nevertheless, a good tourist trade and it is astonishing to find genuine havens of peace.

Our opinion
We much appreciated the beauty of the setting with the clear river water, its soothing noise, the trees and moss-covered rocks, the attractive collection of stone facades, and above all else, the magic of the millstones being turned by the force of the water.
Although the inside is not as well refurbished as one would have hoped, there is no doubt that this mill will manage to turn its new owners’ heads….
