During this walk devoted to the old professions of the area, you can first of all discover the remains of the old paper mill (1603-1837). Five hundred meters further, walk along the beautiful former tile factory, where tiles were manufactured until 1928.
Finally, in a pretty vale, the visitor can admire the site, that saw the activities of a martinet (forge), a sawmill and a mill from which the millers have disappeared, but where the SEFA still exploits the hydraulic power of the place by means of an impressive Archimedes’ screw.
