At the Savonnerie du Moulin de Bourgnac, cold-processed soaps for all skin types are made from a blend of six naturally sourced, ethically procured oils and butters. A guided tour of the mill provides insight into its history, mechanics and hydraulic power. Free soap-making demonstrations take place there on Saturday afternoons by prior arrangement; there is also a tea salon on site.
