History and setting
The Viguier de Ricard brothers began the mill in 1474, on the ruins of a wooden mill that had burned down. Between the 17th and 19th centuries it grew to 36 millstones and became the largest mill in the southwest. A fire in September 1916 stopped it, and in 1932 the building opened as a luxury hotel. During the Second World War, Shatta and Bouli Simon, of the French Jewish scouts, used it to hide Jewish children and families, and none of the children was deported. It became a hotel again in the 1970s. The island facing it, Île de Beaucaire, is a Natura 2000 site.
