Very nice place with friendly staff. Ideal for a wedding. Shaded outside and air conditioning inside. Very beautiful “Floor” dance room. Thank you all.

We are very happy to have chosen the Moulin des Gaffins for our children's wedding. A magical place! I would like to thank Maud with whom we had excellent relations and who was always very available, beforehand and on the weekend itself. We really liked the orchard, sufficiently shaded for the secular ceremony on this hot Saturday, the magnificent courtyard to host the cocktail, and the beautiful room with its magnificent beams.

Fabulous Mill

We got married with Jean-Etienne on April 23, 2022 at the Moulin des Gaffins. We chose Le Moulin and we were so happy with this choice! After 2 postponements Maud made herself more than available and flexible even after 2 years of waiting! We thank her for her kindness, her good humor and her professionalism throughout our discussions for almost 3 years. The Mill is magnificent and perfect for a wedding. We highly recommend this place!
