About this spot
The Watermill of Huelgoat, also known as the Moulin du Chaos, is a historic watermill located in the town of Huelgoat in Brittany, France. The mill dates back to the 17th century and was built to grind wheat and other grains.

The mill is situated on the banks of the River Argent, and its location amidst the beautiful natural scenery of the Huelgoat forest makes it a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can see the mill in action, with the waterwheel and grinding mechanisms still operational.

Inside the mill, there is a museum that showcases the history and technology of milling, including displays of antique milling equipment and tools. Visitors can also learn about the different types of flour produced by the mill and their uses in traditional Breton cuisine.

The Watermill of Huelgoat is a unique and well-preserved example of traditional Breton milling technology and a testament to the importance of water power in the region's history. It offers visitors a fascinating insight into the way people lived and worked in Brittany centuries ago.
