Le Vieux Moulin de Vernon

Le Vieux Moulin de Vernon is a charming historic watermill set along the Seine River in the town of Vernon, Normandy. Built in the 16th century, its half-timbered structure perched on old bridge piers gives it a distinctive, picturesque character. The mill and its surroundings inspired several Impressionist painters, most notably Claude Monet, who captured the light, reflections, and tranquil atmosphere of the Seine in his works painted nearby. Today, Le Vieux Moulin stands as a symbol of Vernon’s heritage and of the artistic legacy that flourished along the riverbanks of Normandy.
