FR Le Moulin St Augustin, aujourd'hui gîte, devait être autrefois un endroit où de l'huile d'olives devait être pressée car un pressoir en fonte accueille les résidents.
L'appareil semble encore en bon état (la fonte, c'est pour durer) mais une restauration s'avère nécessaire si l'on souhaite le remettre en service.
Sur la partie supérieure, on peut encore lire "Dogin & Druge Aix BdR" mais je n'ai trouvé aucune référence pour ce fondeur sur internet.
EN The Moulin St Augustin, now a gîte, was once to be a place where olive oil had to be pressed because a cast iron press welcomes residents.
The device still seems to be in good condition (the cast iron is to last) but a restoration is necessary if one wishes to put it back into service.
On the upper part, we can still read "Dogin & Druge Aix BdR" but I found no reference for this founder on the internet.
