Waterwheels in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

Les roues à aube de l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
France, Lisle-sur-la-Sorgue
The water wheels at L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue are the hallmark of the city. In the 18th century, they were the driving force of industry, setting in motion mills, oil mills, paper, dye and silk factories, grinding grain with their help ... Today, nine moss-covered wheels remain in the city, they are a favorite place for photographing.

Like any tourist town, L'Isle-sur-la Sorgue has its own feature - these are huge water wheels. The fact is that in the Middle Ages, silk and woolen factories were actively built and developed here. It is a greeting from that industrial past that water wheels serve. By the way, they have not been used for their intended purpose for a long time and perform only a decorative function. Guidebooks claim that once there were about 70 wheels in the city. Only 9 have survived to this day. Can you find them all? : ).
