Bazacle Milling Company

France

The Society of Moulins du Bazacle, also known as Bazacle Company, is a French watermill system founded in Toulouse in the 12th century by the citizens of the city to share the operation of a series of mills installed on the site of the Bazacle. The mills were used to process wheat harvested from the Toulouse Plain into flour. It was the first recorded European joint-stock company.
