Dating from the 16th century, the Moulin de la Falaise is an old "petit-pied" mill on the Guérande hillside, known as the Moulin Sainte-Espérance. It was dismantled by a mill enthusiast and rebuilt identically in 1925 in its current location on Dune de la Falaise. It was then abandoned for several years and even lost its roof and framework in a fire in 1978. Now renovated, the Moulin is surrounded by a natural area waiting to be rediscovered, home to hundreds of rare species of wild orchid and a wide variety of wildlife.

In 1990, it underwent a complete renovation that was completed in 1992, strictly respecting the original architecture. The wings were acquired by the city in 2012 and the canvas in 2015. Built of granite cut stone, the roof is made of chestnut wood tiles. Its amazing old-fashioned mechanism is still used today by a miller to transform organic buckwheat grain into organic buckwheat flour.
