Dating from the 16th century, the Moulin de la Falaise is an old "petit-pied" mill on the Guérande hillside, known as the Sainte-Espérance mill. It was dismantled by a mill lover and rebuilt identically in 1925 at its current location on the Falaise Dune. It was then abandoned for several years and even lost its roof and frame in a fire in 1978. Today, the Mill is surrounded by a natural area to be rediscovered where hundreds of rare species of wild orchids and a wide variety of fauna nest.

In 1990, it underwent a complete renovation which was completed in 1992, strictly respecting the original architecture. The wings were acquired by the city in 2012 and the canvas in 2015. Built in granite cut stone, its 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.

Its flour
Buckwheat is the only cereal that does not belong to the grass family (barley, wheat, oats, etc.). It belongs to the polygonaceae family and grows on poor, cold, siliceous soils. Gluten-free, it is nowadays highly sought after. It is an annual plant, 80 to 120 centimetres high, with a reddish stem, tapering heart-shaped leaves and numerous white or pink flowers.
