Well done to Alain who is renovating this mill

Nice but some passages with lots of brambles and nettles impossible to avoid in summer.

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.

The Bouëxière mill dates from 1471, although it has undergone many transformations over time. In 1879, it was notably converted into a flour mill.

This church stands in the middle of the countryside, you can see it from afar, it is magnificent! The bell tower in the form of a "bulb", characteristic of the Byzantine style, made it pass for an Orthodox church, while it is just linked to the originality of the architect in 1875. Anecdote of the German occupation: in 1941, the Nazi propaganda filmed a film there ("Threshing wheat in Ukraine") to make believe in an advance of German troops in Ukraine (against the Soviet Union). Until 2011, the church was under the patronage of St. Peter the Apostle. On this date, his patronage was changed to that of Saint-Maximilien-Kolbé (1894-1941), a Polish priest with exceptional charisma, especially in the face of Nazism. Held in the Auschwitz concentration camp, he offered himself to take the place of a father sentenced to death. He was canonized (recognized as a "saint" by the Catholic Church in Rome) in 1982.
