Mill Troyes (10)
A historical property and events venue that includes an old watermill, nestled in a bucolic landscape, two hours south-east of Paris. A hard-surfaced lane surrounded by a millrace and meadows leads to a central court around which three fine constructions stand: a watermill, a miller’s house and a recently built barn. The river runs across the whole property, beneath willows, alders and ashes that grow here and there. Secondary branches of the river provide water for a series of pools. The mill enjoys the right to use the river water. A pond further underlines the strong presence of water on this eight-hectare property mainly made up of meadows.

Mill Chalons-en-champagne (51)
A large watermill nestled in the valley of the River Moivre in France’s Champagne region. In 1260, the village seigneur gave the Abbaye de Lachalade, which is located around 50 kilometres from the village, a plot of land beside a chapel so they could build a watermill there. We do not know the exact date when the first watermill was built here, but it was probably shortly after this plot was given. Throughout the Ancien Régime in France, the successive watermills here were all managed in the same way: the abbots from the Abbaye de Lachalade, the owners, would rent out the plot with the associated rights and would provide the millstones. An official lessor, usually a noble from Châlons-en-Champagne, would provide funding for construction and maintenance of the watermill. He himself would rent it out to a miller or employ this miller. In 1499, the King’s Treasurer for the province of Champagne bought the neighbouring farm and leased the mill. His descendants did the same up to 1764, when the current owner’s ancestor took over the place. The mill was restored in around 1850. Milling here ended in 1905. From a small secondary road, a long tarmacked drive leads up to the mill. This mill stands opposite the old farm, which is no longer part of the property. Only a path of white stones, which belongs to the neighbour, forms a boundary with the mill’s court. Behind the latter, the property includes a small garden enclosed with wrought-iron fencing and with the river that flows in a curve beneath the mill. In this garden there is an elegant 19th-century aviary with a zinc roof. On the other side of the river, the property extends with a ridge that looks down over the mill.

Mill Chablis (89)
An authentic 19th-century watermill that has been turned into a charming guesthouse, nestled in a quaint village in France’s Yonne department. The property is nestled on the western edge of the village. A white double-leaf gate leads into it. On the right, a gravelled space runs alongside the watermill’s facade. The watermill is a huge rectangular building that faces south. Its large size and uniformity make the edifice stand out. It is made of small white stones that are typical of rural dwellings in the local region. A hipped slate roof crowns the building. To the left, there is a clear view of the arches of a bridge that crosses the River Serein, which flows beneath the watermill in the middle of it. From 1837 onwards, the building had several lives before it was converted into a guesthouse. The elongated edifice runs from east to west. It has four floors and a basement. Its tall, broad facade is punctuated with rectangular windows evenly spaced out and set in surrounds of dressed stone. Two stringcourses, embellished with decorative metal features, demarcate the levels. Many gabled dormers stand along the roof, which is crowned with finials. On the north side of the watermill, there is an outbuilding designed as a workshop and an area of lush land that extends along the millrace. On this rear side there is also a parking area for guests and visitors.
