Our Local Village
Saint Georges is a pretty little village with the river Erve winding through it. From the 16th to the 19th century, water mills have taken their mechanical energy from the Erve for milling, tanning, fulling, paper production, sawmills and forges. The popular local restaurant is called La Forge. Pop in for a drink at the bar and practice your French. You can buy bread and cigarettes there too.
