Places of interest
Fanchon's windmill The sails stopped turning in 1923, on the death of the last miller, Louis Fanchon (who acquired the mill in 1882). The building was left to nature, and was soon covered in moss and grass, with bushes growing through every opening. Much of the structure began to crumble. After more than 10 years of restoration, thanks to the dynamism of the Association de Sauvegarde du Patrimoine de Candas, the mill is now open to the public. There's a guided tour and demonstrations of flour production.
