Located in a remarkable historic setting, this press was used to crush apples. The sandstone wheel was driven by animal traction. In the center, a horse or donkey was harnessed to the training axis. This fruit press is located near the castle of Blandy Les Tours. The culture of this region today is mainly cereal. In the past many orchards were maintained to produce apples used to make cider.
