The Ribet or Saint-Pierre mill was built in 1814 and operated until 1915, when wheat was requisitioned for the war. It is the most recent of the four mills in Fontvieille. In 1935, it was this mill, which was the best preserved at the time, that the Société des Amis d'Alphonse Daudet restored. This is the reason why it is commonly referred to as the Daudet mill.
