SAINT-GERMAIN-LANGOT
The town of Saint-Germain-Langot was previously located further south along the Val stream. This stream, which flows into the Laize, once drove the wheels of a series of 4 mills. One of them, called "Moulin du Bourg" remains. Do not hesitate to ask the owner who will be happy to describe in detail how it works. In the heart of a bocage landscape interspersed with woods, this circuit will make you discover a rugged relief where the habitat is scattered in hamlets nestled in the heart of the valleys.
