The Cézille mill is a typical watermill from the Bresse region. It formerly used the motive power of the Reyssouze, an emblematic river of the region, to grind the product of the important local grain cultivation. Today it houses a museum.

Fishing pond, very beautiful path to walk around it. Wild ducks, egrets, herons... Private signs a little dissuasive, but the fishermen present encouraged us to enter. Picnic tables. No swimming.
