Moulin de la Siagnole

The Siagnole watermill contains both a flour mill with two pairs of millstones and an olive oil mill with four hydraulic presses.

The first written records of this communal mill date back to 1551, when Henri de Villeneuve transferred the wheat and oil mills to the Mons community.

The mill stands as a testament to traditional milling methods, featuring an 8-meter diameter water wheel that powers the mechanism through a 250-meter supply channel.

The mill opens to visitors during the Country Heritage and Mills Days, held annually during the third week of June.

The flour mill section operates with a Francis turbine manufactured by Dumont, generating 10 horsepower with a water flow of 100 liters per second.
