Saint-Thurien: Walking Trails, the Isole and Mill History

For a stay in Saint-Thurien, it is worth checking walking dates, the landscape and seasonal offerings. Hentou Kozh hosts two different walking events; the Isole, with its winding course through a wooded valley, shapes the natural landscape. The Moulin Richet adds a historical connection, while the market follows its own seasonal and weekly schedule. This makes it possible to compare the offerings based on your interests and specific travel dates.

Walks and dates

On the third Saturday of each month, Hentou Kozh hosts a public walk to explore Saint-Thurien’s trails. On 1 May, Hentou Kozh offers various walking routes with panoramic views of the river and wooded landscapes. There are therefore different options when choosing a date: a recurring monthly event for exploring the trails, and an offering on 1 May with several routes and scenic views. Before travelling, check the specific date and the current edition.

The Isole and the landscape

The Isole forms the boundary of the Saint-Thurien area to the west and south. It is also a winding river that flows through a wooded valley. Its role as a boundary helps define the area geographically; the description of the valley and the river’s course gives an impression of the landscape. The panoramic offering on 1 May brings these elements together, with the river and wooded landscapes both in view.

A break at Troysol

Troysol is a picnic meadow crossed by the Isole, with trees providing shade. Children can play ball on the lawn. The meadow offers both a place for a picnic and a specific opportunity to play outdoors. If you are travelling with children, playing ball is a practical point to consider; unlike the walking events, the focus here is on spending time in the meadow. Conditions on site may vary.

Mills and market days

The Moulin Richet is the oldest of the five mills documented since 1800 and dates from the 15th century. The dates refer to different things: the 15th century is when the Moulin Richet originated, while the five mills in the comparison have been documented since 1800. The Moulin Richet is privately owned. Keep this in mind when planning a visit.

The Saint-Thurien market takes place from March to October on the second and fourth Sundays of the month at Place du Centre. It is seasonal and limited to two Sundays a month; it does not take place year-round or every Sunday. If you are planning a market visit, check the current calendar before travelling. For a sense of the schedule, compare it with the public walk on the third Saturday: the market takes place on Sundays and is only available during its seasonal period.
