This is an old water mill in St Bruno, Quebec. The first mill was built in 1725, and then rebuilt in stone in 1741. The current building is the third mill on the site, dating from the 1760s. In the late nineteenth century the area became popular as a weekend retreat for wealthy businessmen who built several very large homes nearby. The mill was converted into a chapel for their benefit. It is now a Tea Salon (le Salon de The le Vieux Moulin), but it is only open at weekends. As there is no public road access customers have to walk in. Through the winter, most arrive on skis or snowshoes. The soup and hot drinks are very welcome during the cold months with the roaring fireplace keeping the customers warm. carlascanvas.com/2018/10/14/salon-the-mont-saint-bruno
