    Place called "le Cul du Moulin" at the foot of Champtoceaux, near the pier of the boat "La Luce" and the nautical base.
    Very nice place for a stopover. Several picnic tables, toilets and a fountain which often saved me in summer :-)

    The place is also notable for its hanged mill. Classified as a historical monument, this 13th century building was first presented as a river toll before being rehabilitated as a watermill. Under the pointed arches were suspended water wheels which drove millstones upstairs, hence the name hanging mill. This mill is contemporary with the medieval city of which there are vestiges on the heights.

      For a long time, our ancestors have observed nature and learned to harness the often unbridled power of the elements, including flowing water. What makes this place special is the unusual technology used: it was not a "normal" water mill that was built, but a very unusual construction in which the wheels were hung in the arches.
