Rural building Located in Juvigny sur Loison in Lorraine Gaumaise, you will be charmed by this haven of peace and silence full of history, in the heart of rich and green nature. So-called “water” mills, known to the Romans before the Christian era, began to be used in France from the 6th century. It was a question of transforming the energy produced by water (running or falling) into mechanical energy using a hydraulic wheel which behaves like a real motor (the only one which will be in use until the invention of the steam engine). A transmission system will activate millstones which, by grinding it, will extract the flour from the grain. This milling process will spread wherever the hydrographic network allows it. Many will be provided with them, some “ordinary” mills of a lordship even forcing residents to grind their wheat there for a fee. In recent years, this old mill has been transformed into guest rooms and tables. The mill garden is an LPO (League for the Protection of Birds) refuge.
