To the west of the village of Lotbinière, discover this hidden treasure nestled in the middle of nature and dating back to 1816. Built on a peninsula surrounded by the Rivière du Chêne that runs at the foot of majestic cliffs, this former seigniorial flour mill lets you meet the families of millers past, the “habitants” busy with their daily activities, all this by taking a guided tour and admiring the photographs on display in the attic. Stay a while to picnic on the terrace, stroll along the river or see a renowned artist perform in the uniquely charming hall. Also, a 4.2-km hiking trail (intermediate level) that follows the river until the pretty village of Leclercville.
