    The Moulin des Invalides is a watermill on the Laquette, located in the city of Aire-sur-la-Lys, part of the French department of Pas-de-Calais. The mill functioned as a flour mill. 

    Translated by‱
    The Invalides mill was built in 1682 by order of Robelin, engineer of the King of France, by former soldiers whose injuries prevented them from continuing to serve the army... Hence the name.
    The elevation of the mill on the course of the Lacquette carries a vertical side wheel with flat blades, replaced thanks to the association "Le Patrimoine Airois".
    Not to be missed during your visit to Aire sur la lys.

    Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements—which, on the one hand, were helpful and useful, but on the other hand, as untamed forces of nature, could also be a threat—for various purposes, thus eliminating the need for human or animal muscle power. Mills such as these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: The heavy millstones used to grind grain or press oil, for example, could be powered by wind or—as in this case—water.
