バン・ド・ブルターニュ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

This former watermill, documented as early as 1089, was initially used as a fulling mill before being converted into a flour mill in the 19th century. Its operation ceased on December 31, 1974. Since then, the building has stood as a significant heritage landmark, marking the industrial and riverine history of the Vilaine Valley.

The church of Saint-Senoux, rebuilt in 1896 in a Romanesque-Byzantine style, is distinguished by its onion-domed bell tower and vaulted nave. It reuses elements from the old church and retains the original altars, baptistery and confessionals.

Very beautiful passage in the forest

The cycle path along the Vilaine is truly a MUST! It runs directly along the river and has many locks. At each of the locks, there are beautifully maintained guardhouses, some of which are even kitsch. The cycle path doesn't stray more than 10 meters from the river and has a very well-maintained surface. I had the pleasure of following it for over 40 kilometers.

Romanesque-Byzantine style, a style very popular at the end of the 19th century.

Well done to Alain who is renovating this mill

Nice spot on the Vilaine

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.
