Superb walk along the lake

The municipality installed interpretive panels in the fall of 2022. Outside the mill, furniture reminiscent of the old mill sails showcases the mill's history and mechanism, while also promoting the vineyard's tourist attractions. Inside the mill, on both floors, glazed lava orientation tables present the various sites visible from the mill while evoking the work of the vineyard throughout the four seasons. A picnic table is available on site. The site is only accessible on foot or by bicycle. Nearest parking is at the Tuileries Pond.

A viewpoint as astonishing as it is impressive stands out from the cliff 30 meters above the Pont Caffino leisure center. Put your feet on the ground to discover the magnificent panorama of the vineyards and the Maine valley.
