Wind and water mills were a major landscape feature of Anjou in the 18th century, when 2,000 mills crushed wheat throughout the province. Although most closed with the advent of steam power an electricity, moulin Bregeon ground on well into the 1960's.
After seven years of renovation that preserved the original crepe facade on the stone walls, as well as the 18th century mill grinding stone and gears, the moulin has been transformed into a model of authenticity, comfort and charm.
Other cultural highlights include the equestrian prowess of France's renknowned Cadre Noire, the elite military cavalry corps, towing excursions down the Loire, and unique mushroom caves.
Many famous chateaux of the Loire are nearby, including some reknown for their kitchens and gardens: Chenonceau, Villandry, Breze, and the Abbey Fontevraud.

As locals, American proprietor John and his partners Pascal Merillou and Bernard Levenez know the hidden treasures of Anjou that tour guides usually miss: the secret antique and brocantes (less pricey antique shops), the best vineyards, swimming lakes, and world-class restaurants.
Guests spend their days with the moulin's owners exploring the marvellous diversity of the area, from bicycle touring to antique troglodyte cavern restaurants, serving 15th century peasant food.
