Origin and history

The Musée du Moulin des Bouillons is a monument located in the commune of Gordes, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. This place, whose exact period of construction or activity is not specified in the available sources, embodies a local heritage linked to the industrial or artisanal history of the region. In south-eastern France, mills have often played a central role in the economic and social life of communities.

They were used primarily for the processing of cereals, but sometimes also for other uses such as milling or oil production. Their presence reflects the organization of agricultural and artisanal activities, as well as the adaptation of people to local natural resources, such as rivers or wind.
