Inscription. Une dizaine de moulins s’égrenaient autrefois sur les deux rives du Tarn. Quatre subsistèrant après la Révolution: les moulins de Gardes, de Lamothe, du Chapitre et le Moulin-Neuf, appele par la suite «Moulins de l’Albigeois».

Un moulin existant déjà sur ce site au XIIIe siècle. Transformé aux XVIIIe et XIVe siècles, il devint le siège d’une minoterie après 1828, complétée par une vermicellerie en 1845.

Après avoir connu une période florissante, la Société des Moulins des l’Albigeois cessa toute activité dans les années 1970.

Avant bénéficié d’une réhabilitation en 1986, ces bâtiments abritent aujourd’hui le musée Lapérouse, un hôtel, de logements, des services de conseil général du Tarn et un centre d’art contemporain, le L.A.I.T.

Albi Mills
Once, ten mills dotted the two banks of the Tarn. After the French Revolution, only four remained: the Gardès, Lamothe, and Chapitre mills and the Moulin-Neuf (New Mill). Afterwards called the “Moulin de l’Albigeois”.

A mill existed on this site as early as the 13th century. Overhauled, it became the headquarters of the flour mill in 1828, and was later converted into a vermicelli factory in 1845.

After flourishing for years, the Moulins de l’Albigeois Company closed its doors in 1970. After a renovation

Spanish:
Los molinos de agua albigenses
Antiguamente llegaron a funcionar hasta diez molinos a orillas del Tarn. Cuatro resistieron a la Revolución Francesa: moulin de Gardes, moulin de Lamothe, moulin de Chapitre y Moulin-Neuf.
Se tiene constancia de la existencia de un molina de agua en este lugar desde el siglo XIII. En los siglos XVIII y XIX sufre una serie de transformaciones y, a partir de 1828, se convierte en una fábrica de harina, donde también se elabora pasta a partir de 1845. Tras un periodo de bonanza, la Société des Moulins de l´Albigeois, echa el cierre en 1970.
Las fábricas se restauraron en 1986 y en ellas se han instalado el museo Lapérouse, el centro de arte contemporáneo (LAIT), algunos servicios de la administración regional y viviendas.
 
Erected by Ville d’Albi.
