Moulin du Saut, Medieval water mill ruins in Gramat, France
The stone mill stands against a rock wall near a 10-meter waterfall on the Alzou River, featuring three water chambers and multiple grinding wheels.
Built in 1442 by Hugues Tarnier under the authority of Lord Hugues d'Aigrefeuille, the mill underwent reconstruction in 1739 by Baron Antoine Raymond de Fouilhac.
The mill complex included living quarters with a bread oven, latrine, and freshwater sources, reflecting the medieval miller's self-sufficient lifestyle.
A 4.3-kilometer hiking trail leads visitors through the Alzou canyon, presenting views of the mill ruins and the surrounding limestone cliffs.
The mill operated until World War I, then briefly served as a power plant before a fire destroyed it in 1925, leaving behind its current state.
