It is also a land of gastronomy, firmly anchored in the vineyards of the Haut-Poitou and the Loire.
On the edge of the village, the striking entrance to the mill is framed by two large pilasters, the round-arched porch resting on two smaller pilasters. The two pedestrian gates feature the same architectural style as the carriage entrance, thus creating a balanced and elegant ensemble. At the rear, a vast courtyard connects to the mill, a house in need of restoration, and the outbuildings. The park extends to the rear of the mill.

From the entrance, a first door leads to a bedroom and its shower room. A second door gives access to another bedroom and shower room and a third to a guest toilet. The laundry/boiler room can be reached via one of the two bedrooms. The windows and doors to the north are double glazed and to the south single glazed.

One bedroom gives access to an unrestored room which could be converted into a bathroom. The floors of the bedrooms are carpeted. The floor in the corridor is tiled. Above the two bedrooms, the attic is suitable for conversion and could be directly connected to the house, since access is currently from the outside.

Under one of the grain halls, a well has been equipped with a pump. The gardenIt extends to the rear of the house and is partly bordered by the small stream. Beautiful trees are planted there: cedars, ashes, beeches, maritime pine, Austrian black pine and poplars. A lime tree stands in the centre of the courtyard.
