Fourges, Restaurant in a historic mill near Giverny, France
Le Moulin de Fourges is a restaurant housed in a historic mill building along the Epte, powered by a functioning water wheel. The house contains multiple dining rooms inside and also offers seating by the river.
The mill's builders participated in constructing the Hameau de la Reine at Versailles, bringing their architectural knowledge to this rural location. This connects the site to a famous 18th-century Versailles project.
The restaurant honors French cooking traditions and sources regional Norman products from local farmers. The kitchen reflects a connection to the surrounding landscape and uses what each season brings.
The restaurant is reachable on foot from the village and sits directly by the river, making it a pleasant walk to reach. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and during peak season.
The water wheel is driven by the flow of the Epte and operates as it did on the original day the mill was built. Diners can watch the wheel turn during their meal and enjoy this glimpse into old technology.
