In the seventeenth century. we also see the construction of two windmills.in the area of Gourdane (also rightly called the Area of the End of the World) The municipality had until then only three water mills: one on the Verdon (now drowned under Lake Esparron) and two in the ravine of Malavalasse. Over the time, the Gourdane mills have experienced oblivion. Ruined, they were saved and refurbished (at least one) in 1999, and are once again the pride of the village.
