About The Old Mill
Le Vieux Moulin is a picturesque 16th-century half-timbered mill perched on the piers of a medieval bridge over the Seine River in Vernon, Normandy. This iconic landmark is the last survivor of five water mills that once operated on the 12th-century bridge built under King Philippe Auguste. The mill functioned until 1849 using an ingenious hanging wheel system that adapted to the Seine's variable water levels.

The painting Claude Monet created of this mill in 1883, titled 'Houses on the Old Bridge at Vernon,' now hangs in the New Orleans Museum of Art in Louisiana, USA. It was one of the first subjects Monet painted after moving to Giverny, just weeks after arriving in April 1883.
