On a abord fabriqué des meules monolithes (formées d’un seul bloc) mais la qualité des silex utilisés dans notre région a très vite conduit les meuliers à produire des meules formées de plusieurs « carreaux »
assemblés avec du plâtre et cerclées à chaud comme les roues de charrettes.
Ces meules étaient fabriquées sur la commune de Cinq mars la Pile , commune située au nord le long de la Loire.

We first made monolithic wheels (formed from a single block) but the quality of the flint used in our region very quickly led the grinders to produce grindstones formed of several "tiles"
assembled with plaster and heat-rimmed like carts.
These millstones were manufactured in the town of Cinq Mars la Pile, a town located north along the Loire.
Type of mill: Water Mill
What did this millstone make?: flour
Status of Stone: Public Display
