Moulin Scalagrand

Since 2017 we have embarked on a journey of giving an old watermill, its adjoining buildings and the surroundings a new sustainable life. Moulin Scalagrand was built as a watermill for milling wheat, and the flour obtained was then processed in the adjoining bakery. Back then the water turbines, powered by the river Dropt flowing underneath the buildings, produced hydropower for the machines processing grain. Today the same turbines have been renovated and adapted for the production of electricity powering the whole compound, along with our solar panels, we only use our own harnessed clean energy! Moulin Scalagrand is now a self-sustainable mill and an alternative retreat inspired by the principles of Permaculture. Our site has been repurposed to offer immersive experiences in permaculture farming, up-and recycling, farm-to-fork, and foraging culinary activities. We invite you to come and engage in a more ecological and self-sufficient lifestyle, and learn with us by doing.
