Le Vieux-Moulin

Highlight • Other

The Old Mill was built on the remains of a medieval arched bridge. The bridge dates back to the 12th century, but the mill was added in the 16th century. It is the last remaining remnant of the ancient mills built on bridges in the region. This one served as a subject for the famous Impressionist painter Claude Monet.

Old Mill of Vernon

Highlight • Monument

For a long time, our ancestors have observed nature and learned to harness the often unbridled power of the elements, including flowing water. What makes this place special is the unusual technology used: it was not a "normal" water mill that was built, but a very unusual construction in which the wheels were hung in the arches.

Tourelles Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château des Tourelles has a typical history of a medieval building. Its construction began in the 13th century, but it was not completed until the 18th century. Its impressive turrets justify the name of the castle. Listed as a Historic Monument, it is located a few steps from the old mill, another point of great interest in Vernon.

November 16, 2025,Boucle Le Vieux Moulin – Château des Tourelles au départ de Vernonnet

Not feeling very motivated this weekend with the rain. I cancelled my gravel ride yesterday. And today the gym is closed, so I opted for a nice, easy hike in the drizzle and grey skies. 😯🌧️

A pleasant little route, passing along the banks of the Seine and then through the forest in the hills above Vernon. A lovely viewpoint. …
