Moulin à huile communal
This small mill, whose existence is already attested in the early 19th century, is still in operation today. The current wheel was installed in the latter years of the 20th century.

The mill, housed in a rectangular building, is powered by a horizontal metal wheel located exactly below the single-stone crusher. It is equipped with a double wooden press with steel screw, no chapel, a single metal press, a capstan and a small furnace. Strictly speaking, the wheel chamber is not housed in a basement level, since the small cavity in which it is located is no more than one meter high.
