MillLaval (53)

An ancient mid-19th century flour mill in the Erve valley in the Mayenne region. Situated to the west of the village, the mill is accessed via a country road that goes over a small stone bridge. The property is accessed from the north via a gravelled courtyard surrounded by a low stone wall. A large, building facing due south, the mill stands out against the surrounding countryside due to its size and uniform shape. It is built of exposed stone, which is typical of rural houses in the region. On the north side of the mill there is a first garden and a shed used as a wood shed. In front of the mill, a terrace overlooks the millstream on the south side. The wooded meadow valley is accessed via a wooden pontoon.
