It is one of the most charming and historic attractions in the Eure department. Here you will find a wooden watermill that spans an arm of the Seine. The mill dates from the 12th century and has a unique mechanism that allows the wheel to lower or raise depending on the water level. It is one of the last examples of this type of mill in Europe. The Moulin de Muids is an ideal place to get some fresh air and discover the local heritage. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture great photos of the mill and the river!
