Ancient Watermill Set in a Tranquil Valley in the Midi Pyrénées

Le Moulin de Cornusson is an ancient stone built watermill, parts of which are 500 years old, built originally to provide Le Chateau de Cornusson with flour and water.

In front of the mill there is the mill pond (usually dry in the summer) that is fed by a small stream running down the valley from our waterfall. At the rear there is the park, 2 acres of maintained grass and trees, bordered by the tail race, the river Seye and our two meadows that provide grazing for our sheep. Alongside the meadows is the swimming pool (12 mtrs x 6 mtrs) and the decked dining and sun lounging area.

Within 200 mtrs we have the restaurant and bar "Le Valee". There is a further 5 acres of woodland, streams and pasture.
