Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could easily be replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order, for example, to grind grains into grain. There are essentially two different ways to drive water mills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water flow is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades, with this design there is greater efficiency due to natural gravity.

Beautiful place of greenery, on the banks of the Vonne. A footbridge allows the crossing. Be careful, it is not practicable during high water periods.

The church, a former priory church, is a station on the Way of St. James, Via Turonensis. It is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and St. Junien. A peaceful place. Nearby is a kind of covered market place, very nice to take a break. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre-Dame-St-Junien_(Lusignan)
