    Invented by Denis Papin, the Dawn Wheel is found on many old mills.
    We will notice the bridge first with on the left, this small tunnel which feeds the reach and the wheel. This is called the "wheel below", fed from below.
    Only the vestiges remain, the axle, a few spokes and blades. On the back of the building the remains of stone millstones.
    Extract from Wikipedia: The use of human (or animal) energy disappeared with the invention in 1685, by the French physicist Denis Papin, of the paddle wheel driven by pressurized steam in boilers fueled with wood or coal.

      The second that I discover during the walks, the most beautiful that I know for the moment is that of the Moulin du Got, fed from the top.
