A fascinating ruin of this mill which is hidden for much of the year. If the water level is low (usually in winter) you can see the bridge and there is an information board nearby if you want to know more during your run.

The bridge was built in 1756. It offers a magnificent view of the 14th century towers of Semur-en-Auxois. Dare I say it's worth stopping to take a photo on your run?
