Moulin du Fontcourt History
This 300 year old former French watermill was built on the river Bonnieure. The history research is on-going by the current owner Gary who comments “I can not be credited with the splendour of the property, the previous owners bought the derelict and run down property and garden way back sometime in 2000 and it was their hard work money that restored it to the beautiful place it is today! I aim to respect, love and nurture this home and develop the gardens further to bring the full potential to this wonderful place that friends, family and guests call a sanctuary.
