The old mill Vernon Normandy by EuropeTrotter

The old mill of Vernon in Normandy (France) is a monument built in Tudor to the sixteenth century straddling the batteries from the old town bridge crossing the Seine. It is the last of five mills operating on the Seine. He then was a mill " pending wheel ", which was operated by water power produced by the river current . At the time , the building also served as a toll house for the collection of the "grant" ( tax crossing the river by the bridge). via 500px http://j.mp/1kXWbGj
