“This ancient mill is on the GR6. It is a ruin, yet you still sense its great energy. The Ouysse river once turned the mill wheels, and you can see where the river has carved into the rocky walls. There’s a pretty waterfall close by, that is especially strong after it’s been raining. I like following the movement of the granite walls pushed around by tectonic plates. It’s amazing.”
