EDITORS COMMENTS
Ancient Mill at Lery, France: A Glimpse into the Past Nestled along the serene waters of the River Orge in the picturesque village of Lery, France, stands an ancient mill that once served as the residence of Blanche de Castille. This image, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of simplicity and charm. The mill, with its timbered facade and half-hidden water wheel, is a testament to the rich history of France. The water mill, a common sight in medieval Europe, was once a vital source of power for grinding grain and other materials. The mill's wheel, turning gently in the background, is a reminder of the industrious spirit of the past. Blanche de Castille, a significant figure in French history, resided in this mill during the 13th century. She was the mother of King Louis IX and played a crucial role in the political and military affairs of the kingdom. The mill served as a refuge for her and her family during times of conflict. The scene depicted in the photograph is idyllic and peaceful. A boatman skillfully navigates his punt through the calm waters, transporting passengers to the other side. The mill and its surrounding greenery create a picturesque backdrop, a scene that has remained unchanged for centuries. This image is a reminder of the beauty and history that can be found in the most unexpected places. It invites us to slow down and appreciate the simple pleasures of life, much like the boatman and his passengers as they glide gently down the river. The Ancient Mill at Lery, France, is not just a historical site, but a living piece of history that continues to inspire and captivate visitors.
