Model of a mill-boat with ferry housing gears and grinding wheels and smaller boat supporting the shaft, wood, 20th century, in the Musee de la Marine de Loire, a museum celebrating the history of navigation, trade and life on the river Loire, opened 1961 in the stable block of the Chateau de Chateauneuf-sur-Loire, Loiret, Centre-Val de Loire, France. Due to the changing river levels, floating mills were used on the Loire rather than permanent buildings. The old stable building was adapted from 1995 by Philippe Prost, with new structures evoking life on board ships. Picture by Manuel Cohen
