Servignat: Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

The Moulin de Servignat on the Reyssouze is at the heart of the local history. The medieval mill has been mentioned since 1274; its architecture and machinery date from the 19th century. On the night of 30 to 31 October 1886, the Moulin de Servignat was devastated by fire. Today, it can only be viewed from the outside, as it is an inhabited private residence.

The Route des Trois Moulins follows a 20-kilometre route to four mills and is suitable for bicycles, mountain bikes or cars. Three of the four mills are traversed by the Reyssouze. The route begins at Camping du Coq in Mantenay, passes through Saint-Jean-sur-Reyssouze and ends in Servignat. Along the way, it reveals the architectural and ecological features of this part of the Bresse.

Nature

Servignat is part of the ZNIEFF Basse vallée de la Reyssouze, a type II ecological inventory area. The area preserves wet meadows and damp woodland with the characteristic flora and fauna of the Val de Saône. At the same time, it forms an ecological corridor for wildlife.

For some noteworthy bird species, the ZNIEFF serves as a passage area, a stopover and temporary habitat during migration, and in some cases as a breeding area.
