To discover, see and do...

The Moulin Grenier (Grenier Mill) was built in 1820 by François Grenier. It was classified as a historic building in 1976. The mill is open to the public, and guides offer interactive tours from June 24 (St-Jean Baptiste) to Thanksgiving. One of its main attractions is the excellent condition of its original mechanism. The mill operated until the 1880s, but was almost abandoned in the late 1970s, when it was struck by a car. The city of Repentigny took it over and began restoration work, completed in September 2005. Contact us for the detailed schedule.
