The Old Mill in Vernon is a picturesque watermill situated on the banks of the Seine River, just a short distance from the famous gardens of Giverny. This 16th-century structure, with its wooden waterwheel and half-timbered facade, offers a glimpse into the region's milling heritage. Visitors can admire the mill from the outside, watching the wheel turn as water flows through, and enjoy the tranquil riverside setting. The mill is a popular photo spot and a peaceful place to pause before or after exploring Monet's home. Nearby, the Vernon bridge provides a classic view of the mill against the river.
