Moulin de Rairé, a breath of history!
Don’t leave the Vendée without visiting Sallertaine, the only windmill in France to have run entirely on wind power, from the time it was built in 1555 right up to the present day.
Rejecting all folklore, the Burgaud-Billet family, authentic descendants of a long line of flour-makers, continue to operate this fascinating machine using the techniques of yesteryear.
The miller invites you to take part in a guided tour of this astonishingly ingenious Historic Monument.
Permanent exhibitions:
– the history of milling and its techniques
– the amoulangeurs, the mill carpenters
– the “Fanfan” flour mill
– the Rairé site, from prehistory to the present day
Specialities: organic wheat and buckwheat flour, crêpes, fine biscuits, local produce…
