For a getaway in the countryside of Orvault at the gates of Nantes. The La Retardière mill, built in 1817, is the only one still visible in the town of Orvault. It was used until 1921. A century after it was shut down, Sophie and Hubert, a couple of enthusiasts, bought the property, then simple agricultural land, from their family.
