L'endroit est magnifique, cosy tout en étant assez vaste pour 50 personnes. Grace à Laurence j'ai pu réunir ma famille et amis pour l'anniversaire surprise de mon mari. Laurence est à l'écoute des envies de chacun, ce qui a rendu cette soirée inoubliable pour nous et nos invités.🪅🥂 Si vous voulez une prestation de qualité, avec de la gastronomie fine et un accompagnement bienveillant je vous recommande ce lieu. Mille merci Laurence pour ton professionnalisme, ta patience, ta gentillesse. Mille merci pour les surprises en plus ❤️ Jamais je ne me serai senti capable d'organiser tout ça sans toi. 🙏🏻

We had my husband's surprise 60th birthday party this past Saturday. It was a wonderful evening, everyone was delighted, the food was excellent, the setting magnificent, and the team of professionals was kind and fantastic. Laurence, Alain, and their team were wonderful ❤️. I'm so glad we held our party at Le Moulin. I recommend it 200%!

I've never been inside; my assessment is based on the exterior and its historical interest. It was acquired by the nuns in 1279 and was part of the Jarcy Abbey estate. It's a water-powered wheat mill. Typically, at that time, less refined grains than wheat were also used to make a coarser flour for livestock feed. The miller had to collect the grain from the abbey farm and grind it within two days. He was then required to deliver two 5-pound loaves of bread to be blessed on Easter Sunday in the abbey church. The mill consisted of a living quarters housing the millstones, gears, and milling equipment; two upstairs rooms; a granary; a stable; a pigsty; and a henhouse. Severe floods in 1625 and 1665 destroyed a stable, the wooden bridge, and part of the abbey wall. The last lease agreements date from 1751 and 1759, between Julie Lenorman, Abbess of Jarcy, and Jacques Meunier, with a rent of 600 livres payable quarterly for nine years. In 1791, the mill was leased to Louis Antoine le Prevost for 16,000 livres and resold in 1797 to the Bosquillon family, who owned it until 1923. In 1850, part of the bridge was rebuilt in stone. Louis Fernand Abel, one of the descendants and mayor of the commune from 1888 to 1903, granted the use of the mill to his servant, Madame Thuillier, who called herself "Ma Tante" and transformed it into an inn which she ran with her sister. The room, decorated with copperware, pewter pots, and bed warmers, with a fire in the hearth and grills on the chimney, welcomed numerous visitors on weekends, who arrived more on foot or horseback than by car. The only train went to Combs-La-Ville, and from there it was a 40-minute walk to the mill (and it still takes a 40-minute walk today, only now there is another station closer). In 1910 and 1952, major floods of the Yerres River (nicknamed "The Capricious") again caused considerable damage. The 1910 flood coincided with the largest Seine flood recorded up to that time. The mill is now a center for conferences, weddings, and business meetings (seminars). Therefore, there is no way to visit it unless it is rented in its entirety.
