Moulin Tosset, Heritage mill in Griselles, France.

Moulin Tosset is a water mill in Griselles whose overshot metal wheel carries scoops rather than flat paddles, and the wheel and its gearing remain in place. The building grew in stages: the southern part is the oldest, and the chimneys of the central section date to the 15th century.

The southern section dates to early times, while the central chimneys were added in the 15th century reflecting the building's use. The structure underwent several modifications that adapted its function over centuries.

The water wheel and stone structure show how important water power was for farming in this region. These mills were places where local farmers brought their grain for processing.

The mill is under heritage protection and privately owned, so visits require advance arrangement with the owner. Contacting ahead is necessary to schedule a viewing at a convenient time.

The mill's wheel is fitted with scoops rather than flat paddles, a type built for the low fall of the Cléry valley. Look for the wooden launder that once fed water onto it. The mill is inscribed as a monument historique, and the wheel is the part visitors single out.
