About Moulin de Moidrey
The Moulin de Moidrey is an operational 19th-century windmill located 5 km from Mont-Saint-Michel. Built in 1806, this stone tower mill was abandoned for over a century before being restored and put back into operation in 2003. The mill uses traditional wooden mechanisms and stone millstones to produce flour from buckwheat, wheat, and rye.

The mill's roof weighs 9 tonnes and is covered entirely with chestnut shingles. The massive structure can rotate 360 degrees to position the sails into the wind, a feat accomplished manually by the miller using a long wooden tail pole.
