Our partnersWhen a family business with recognized expertise decides to bring together other exceptional companies in our region, it gives rise to a unique initiative. This is the challenge that has been successfully met by the Tuffery Workshop, the oldest jeans house in France, established in Florac since 1892.
Behind every piece sewn in their workshops lies a deep commitment: to preserve local crafts, promote a region and pass on family know-how. Values that speak particularly to us at La Malène Mill, where we also work to provide an authentic experience in the heart of the Gorges du Tarn.
A network of enthusiasts for a unique local experience.
Since 2023, Atelier Tuffery has implemented an innovative marketing operation : create a circle of houses sharing common values to enrich the visitor experience.
The concept ?
When a customer walks through the door of Atelier Tuffery, they don't just leave with an exceptional pair of jeans. They also discover a world of stories, passion, and traditions, with an invitation to continue the experience with other committed local businesses.
And that's where The Mill of La Malène enters the scene.
The Moulin de La Malène: an adventure experienced on the water!
Among the 9 selected houses, Our mill occupies a very special placeA true institution on the banks of the Tarn, we are proud to help you discover the river in a unique way: in canoe, on paddleboard, simply along the water, for total immersion in this exceptional natural setting.
Our story is one of family passion that spans generations. Every summer, for over 50 years, we have welcomed visitors with a single goal: give them an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the Gorges du Tarn.
Here, as at Tuffery, authenticity is our driving forceWe don't just rent canoes: we share knowledge, stories, and a living heritage. Our boats are a way to explore soaring cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and landscapes shaped by time.
