    In settlement Azannes there is Park-village of Old trades.

    In 2003 on a place which was known the windmill in 1757, the full working copy of that mill has been constructed anew. Jean Luc Simion - the carpenter who has completely restored this mill by drawings of 17-th century.

    Height of a mill - 28 m, weight - 70 tons, length of wings - 12 m, and width - 2,3 m. Its case is executed from 70 м3 an oak grown in the next forest of more than 230 years!

    Inauguration has been made on May 9th, 2004 to that the memorable stamp printed on unofficial envelopes has been devoted.

    Now the park is opened in all May, and on several Sundays of July and August.
