Niché dans le creux du ruisseau du Combeau, il est né vers 1850 et pendant des décennies a fidèlement moulu le grain, donnant ainsi la farine nécessaire à la fabrication du pain, aliment de base de la société d’autrefois.Les propriétaires avaient préservé le bâtiment en rénovant le toit, mais il y manquait toujours la roue ! Dès 2007, l’idée germe, lancée par quelques passionnés. La mairie achète alors le moulin. Le coup d’envoi est donné lors d’une réunion avec la population à laquelle jeunes et moins jeunes ont répondu présents. Chacun apportera son expérience et un peu de son temps. Quelques subventions sont obtenues de la Région Rhône Alpes et la Fondation du Patrimoine. Depuis, des bénévoles organisés et efficaces consacrent un peu… beaucoup… de leurs congés à la remise en état du petit édifice : solivage, couverture, maçonnerie en pisé et en pierre, clôtures et passerelles, élagage et désherbage… Dans une ambiance joyeuse, les journées s’allongent et le travail avance bien. Tous les efforts de nos bénévoles ont porté leurs fruits. Les travaux de gros œuvre sont terminés. Les clôtures et les passerelles sont en place. Le chenal est opérationnel. Bien sûr, manquent encore des travaux de finition et le fleurissement pour donner tout son charme à ce ravissant ouvrage. Lieu de promenade familiale, découverte pour les touristes visitant notre belle région, car le moulin se trouve sur les sentiers départementaux de promenade et de randonnée, activité pédagogique pour les enfants de nos écoles et plus encore fierté pour notre commune
This museum retraces the History of the clog, a shoe made with a leather upper and a wooden sole.The clog, hoof's cousin... We often mistake one for the other, yet the difference is simple : the hoof is entirely shaped from a piece of wood, while the clog is composed of a wooden sole on which is nailed the upper part, the "Tige", made of leather. The clog, disregarded in most shoe museums, is highlighted in Isère in the only place entirely dedicated to it in France : the Clog museum. Great by the evocative power, this summary of heritage carries the memory of the clog's industrial activity. This museum is a place of memory, with the identical reconstruction of the workshop of a galochier (persons who makes clogs), which makes it a unique site in France. This workshop takes the visitor back in time. Leather coupons, wooden soles, laces, nails, sewing machine, grooving lathe, coal stove ... with of course a multitude of models of galoshes. Hundreds of tools arranged according to the stages of the confection, everything is there, as if the galochier was going to cross the door to get back to work. Visitors can feel the old atmosphere through this warm and out of time workshop. An exceptional visit and a rare moment in a wonderful heritage that pays a moving tribute to our ancestors.
