Description
The Moulin de Fleurac, an old wheat and oil mill dating from the 16th century, underwent an almost complete reconstruction at the end of the 19th century. Its architecture is typical of Charente, with beautiful cut stones and semicircular windows on the floor. After being abandoned for several decades, he was converted into a paper mill in 1978 by Mr. Lacombe, a member of a line of stationers for four generations. Faced with financial difficulties, this initiative was supported by the association "Les Amis de la Tradition Papetière d'Angoumois and the neighboring provinces", which revived the activity of this mill by producing paper to the tank from linen and cotton, using 18th century techniques.
