Le Vieux-Moulin, Medieval watermill on Old Bridge, Vernon, France.

The timber-framed watermill stands on two stone pillars of the former bridge across the Seine River, featuring traditional Norman architectural elements.

Built during the 16th century on a 12th-century bridge, the mill served the local community by grinding grain until the early 20th century.

Claude Monet painted this watermill in 1883, creating 'Houses on the Old Bridge at Vernon', now displayed at New Orleans Museum of Art.

The structure is located at coordinates 49.0975° N, 1.48807° E, within walking distance from Vernon city center and near Château des Tourelles.

Between 1925 and 1930, composer Jean Nouguès transformed the mill into a house and established a dance hall on a barge next to it.
