  • English
    • The Terres Blanches Windmill culminates at the top of a hill, on the heights of the town of Cercles. This is an exception in the region, where water mills are more traditional. Perfectly preserved, both in terms of its architecture and its interior installations, you can admire its magnificent wings and wooden cogs. Originally, it was used to grind grains to obtain flour and still has its bread oven.

    A fully functioning 16th century windmill restored by volunteers. One of the volunteers gave us a very interesting tour (in French) and explained both the history and function of the windmill. Surely there is no better souvenir than a bag of flour from the mill itself for a mere €2 (for 1kg). The tour cost a tiny €1 per person. Really fascinating, and enthusiastically explained. Well worth a visit.

    BEAUTIFUL DISCOVERY. Truly this mill is a marvel. The restoration is magnificent. The visit with Bernard is an extraordinary moment. This mill deserves to be better known. You can buy freshly milled flour. Don't hesitate, take the detour if necessary, you won't regret it. THANK YOU to all the volunteers, it’s thanks to you that we have such fun times. Thank you Terra Aventura for taking us through this place.

    Magnificent little mill very well restored in a very pleasant natural setting. Far from the crowds, we were able to discover the interior of the mill and the mechanism in the company of our volunteer guide Bernard. Thanks to him for his good humor and all the explanations. We were able to see the mill working and even leave with a bag of flour made on site! At €1 per visit for adults, we don't regret our stop at the White Tower windmill!
