I have in my angle of vision every morning when I open my shutters..A magnificent mill (or rather a small flour mill) placed on the small river that flows down from my house .... It was for sale there a few years ago a mouthful of bread ... Neighbors bought it to use it as a transit platform for small messaging (short 1 floor out of 5 used everything else abandoned ... L The lock is in good condition. The turbine has disappeared but the gene is still there ... This property complex could be a real gold mine ... There is enough to make 4 apartments per floor, ie 20 families which could be lit , heated, air conditioned and have a collective swimming pool for a carbon footprint close to zero ...
