The Rue des Fabriques and the Rue du Moulin à huile are reminders of the village's artisanal activity. This was the old commercial district, where the village's useful tradesmen were located: miller, cork-maker, cooper, blacksmith, sericulturist...

Now converted into garages, the old shops were once occupied by craftsmen who harvested nature's resources to meet the needs of the villagers. Whether wood trades such as coopers, charcoal burners, strawberry tree workers (for marquetry) or hackberry carvers (for tool making), or trades using fruits for jams and spirits, all had a bond with nature. Rue du Moulin à huile is named after the oil mill that still stands but was converted into a dwelling. Its rounded shape was built to house the millstone that crushed olives. It was an animal-powered mill where a donkey turned the stone.
