Centuries ago, our ancestors discovered how to harness the power of the elements – which, while helpful and useful, could also be a threat as untamed natural forces – for various purposes, thus eliminating the need for human or animal muscle power. A good example of the engineering skills of earlier generations are mills like these: the heavy millstones, used for grinding grain or pressing oil, could be powered by wind or – as in this case – water.

Very easy to access from the Gastins exit going towards Chapelle Iger or the opposite... We go around it on foot, which allows us to contemplate it. It is the only mill in France to have preserved this mechanism, which is why it was classified as a Historic Monument (including its mechanism) in 1970. The Choix mill depended in the 13th century on the abbey of Jouy, which built large agricultural operations and in Gastins two windmills, in 1228. Among them is the mill called Chouaix or Choix, from the name of a disappeared hamlet . This mill which has come down to us was then often rebuilt and its current construction dates from the 17th century. It bears two dates on its doors: 1668 on the north door and 1828 on its south door. It is built at an altitude of 132 meters. Its tower is 8 m high and 6 m in diameter. Its rack and pinion wings, built in 1845, are of the Berton type, the first model with rack, mill-tower and pivot with rotating cap. The roof is attached to the wings, made of chestnut wood tiles, called “essentes”, fixed with copper nails. The roof turns on a circle of wood located at the top of the tower. The tail, a large wooden beam, acts as a counterweight to the wings and allows the roof to be moved. He uses two pairs of grindstones from the Ferté-sous-Jouarre region, in the north of Seine-et-Marne, where there are sandstone quarries. It was restored by an association during the 1970s and officially returned to the wind on September 10, 1977. source: https://www.brienangissienne.fr/Le-Moulin-Choix-de-Gastins.html
