Moulin de Farault

Moulin de Farault is a restored watermill with traditional stone architecture in Aulnay-la-Rivière. The structure contains original water-powered mechanisms, sleeping rooms across multiple levels, and interiors featuring exposed timber framing and rustic finishes.

The mill operated before the 15th century, grinding wheat from the surrounding Beauce farmland. Major restoration work in 2016 stabilized the building and maintained its heritage value.

The site embodies water-powered milling as a cornerstone of rural French life and agricultural trade. Today visitors can observe how the landscape and local economy once depended on such mills working the Beauce region's crops.

The property sits on Rue du Moulin de Farault and provides guest rooms with kitchen facilities, lounge areas, and outdoor garden space. Visitors can move comfortably between the mill's interior rooms and exterior grounds.

Visitors sign a traditional guestbook where they record their experiences during their stay. This custom connects the mill's long past with the personal memories of those who visit today.
