At the mill there is no information at all about the mill itself, nor what opening hours apply. In my opinion, an absolutely missed opportunity. According to traditions (whatever they are?) this windmill was built in the first half of the 19th century. It is a very charming windmill that dominates the region at an altitude of 355 meters from where there are beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. The municipality of Bouhy decided to buy it in 2001 and carried out the restoration. We have experienced this restoration up close and it was excellently carried out, considering the current state of the mill. A fantastic and beautiful piece of heritage, especially if you look at the "folding" blades of the mill.

The round tower that dominates the surroundings and, above all, the four preserved or restored wings, which can now capture the power of the wind again as before, make it visible from afar: In its exposed location, this windmill is a recommendable eye-catcher in the landscape.

Small partially asphalted gravel path at the exit of Pousseaux. Very little used by cars, it crosses a pretty deciduous forest.

Greenway of the Niverais canal, very well developed, between Clamecy and Pousseaux. The track is tarmac, however you should not expect a smooth surface. Between the two towns, you can see the climbing cliffs and the very beautiful Chartreuse de Basseville.

Great hotel in Clamecy, labeled bike welcome. Lots of charm and character for this old 12th century chapel, renovated by four friends. In the summer, they open a pop-up bar in their garden. Tapas, natural wines and concerts on the program. A great step! https://www.labouledor.info/
