    If the Vis flows completely in the open air at the level of the Cirque de Navacelle, this is not the case around Vissec and the Moulins de la Foux, which are located at the level of a resurgence with an impressive flow.

        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.
