In Sainte-Suzanne, come and discover the Vicomte mill, home to one of France's last master papermakers!

Once the mill of the lords of Sainte-Suzanne, the Grand Moulin or Viscount's Mill was used to grind grain from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
Today it is a traditional paper mill, where paper is made by hand according to the traditions of the Maîtres-Papetiers (master papermakers) in force between the 13th and 18th centuries.
The guided tours are led by Carlos Robert, the paper-maker, who will reveal his expertise and share his love of fine paper with you. In front of you, he will explain the different stages of production, from cutting the rag to drying it.
Shop for pure rag paper.
