The Kernavalet Mill—Trégor, on the banks of the Trieux River

In the hollow of a green valley of the Trégor, the Moulin de Kernavalet watches over the banks of the Trieux. Five generations of millers have succeeded each other there. Today the paddle wheel is still present, and the house welcomes 6 travellers without neighbours or vis-à-vis, in a setting where time seems to stand still. Equipped kitchen, courtyard for long evenings. Fishing and trails from the mill. 10 minutes from Pontrieux, 30 minutes from Bréhat and the Pink Granite Coast.

LE LIEU — Water mill whose history dates back to at least 1684, in the line of the lords of Kernévénoy (the family that gave its name to the Hôtel Carnavalet in Paris). In the same family for five generations. The last miller, a great fly fisherman, did his milling there until 1968. The mill is mentioned in the book 'Les Moulins du Trieux' by Jean-Nicolas Cornelius.
