Introduction

Located between Saint-Louis and the Rivière, this mill began life as a sugar factory built by Charles Panon Desbassyns in 1820, powered by a water wheel (roue à aubes) fed by the red canal. After sugar production ceased at the end of the 19th century, it was converted largely unchanged into a corn mill and is a listed historic building.
