The dishes (ready-made meals cooked by a chef) offered are excellent. The simple but original setting will allow you to have a good moment of rest before setting off again. Super welcome!

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 be easily replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

The Hédé lock ladder is made up of eleven locks spread over two kilometers, with a gradient of 27 meters. These are traditional manual locks made of wood. It is pleasant to walk along the canal, especially since several works of art mark the route.

The old Saint-Martin de la Mézière church was destroyed by a fire on May 28, 1866. Of the old building, the architect Jacques Mellet only retains the octagonal tower. The latter, built in the 17th century style, was however built between 1822 and 1833 (pop.culture.gouv.fr)
