One of the most important mills in Maine-et-Loire
This mill became one of the most important in Maine-et-Loire, largely because its owners always knew how to modernize it, and thus make it more and more efficient. They knew how to evolve from the old paddle wheel to a rare "Sagebien" wheel, then to steam.
And, today, this will of modernity continues, and thus allows this mill to become "L'Hydronef".
"The Hydronef
You are welcomed by a virtual character representing Alphonse Sagebien, the inventor of the wheel that bears his name, and which equips the mill. And here you are in this nineteenth century vessel which, through time and space, will make you discover water machines, hydraulic energy and renewable energies.
A real scenography that plays with light, videos, and interactive supports makes these subjects attractive, and accessible to all. And, on your way out, don't miss the mill's hydraulic garden!
The Mill offers individual visits, guided tours, exhibitions, animations, as well as educational programs for schools.
