Visiting the mill is definitely a highlight, but I highly recommend hiking to the top of the hill to get a great view of the mill from the top. Simply fantastic!

The Bouëxière mill dates from 1471, although it has undergone many transformations over time. In 1879, it was notably converted into a flour mill.

This place offers a possibility of sheltered rest under the trees when it is hot. The footbridge leads to the bar which is located on the other side of La Vilaine.
There is also a repair station for bicycles.

Boël Mill

Highlight • Monument

Le Boël is one of the emblematic sites of the Vilaine valley.

Essential place for walks or bike rides (mountain biking, road or gravel, there is something for everyone) and even kayaking or canoeing, stopover on the towpath from Rennes to Redon with its picnic tables . The heights offer a very pretty panorama, as far as Rennes in good weather.

The passage of the lock for the boats is always a spectacle for the little ones but also for the older ones.

There is also a magnificent 12th century watermill.
To have fun, you can have lunch in a very good restaurant, the Marin Boël, and recently in a creperie.
