dordogne gites

On this page, we present you our village of Couze et Saint Front and the places of interest during this summer.

couze et saint front

Couze et Saint Front, our rural village is situated in dordogne, in the Purple Perigord.. Centuries ago it has been a very famous mill village. 13 mills were in activity to produce paper. With the industrialisation, little by little, quite all the mills shut down, except per 2 of them which are still in activity.

Ecomusée du papier - Moulin de la Rouzique (1530)

This is one of the last mills in Couze, it hasn't stopped producing paper since 1530. An association has kept it alive and it is now a museum open for visits.
