" Located at the exit of the Campeche section near the departmental road 120, on the old sugar factory of La Mahaudière, whose activity was important in the 19th century, with an average production of 365 hectoliters of rum per year, this former windmill, which once made sugar cane, built in the traditional way, seems to be one of the oldest parts. Recently refurbished, it now houses the Sainte-Thérèse Chapel."
