A bit of History

In 1840 a dam was built on St Georges on the Cher River. In 1876, Gaultier-Vaudion , a local miller already owner of the village's two mills, requested a building permit from the Ministry of Public Buildings. He wanted to build a mill on the left bank of the Cher River to take advantage of the falls from this dam.
In 1878, he received the agreement from the state and the chief engineer. The mill was finally working in 1883.
The mill had a 50 horsepower potential.

In 1888, the mill was sold to Honoré Bourdonneau, who then sold it to Octave Farineau in 1903. The mill was run by the Farineau family until 1963. However, it stopped running due to a fire in 1940 and was only re-constructed in 1947.

In 1967, it became the property of the village of Romainville . They transformed it into a holiday centre and planted the beautiful trees which are still standing today in the garden. Later in 1983, it became a restaurant/hotel called "La Roue á Aube", then a retirement home called "Residence des Cèdres" in 1988. In July 2005, Isabelle and Thierry Moreau became the new owners and gave the mill its original name back. Nowadays, a covered water wheel of impressive dimension is still standing.
