Porte du Moulin

The Porte du Moulin, situated in 'C14', was once as anchored as the river it ties to. This gate, built in the 14th century, has stood beside the roads of this French town in Maine-et-Loire. The Location of the gate does not change course. For centuries, economical consequences of the river abandoning its banks and making the fields its own, creating a vast network of waterways called the Biesse, often flooded and therefore dangerous, are not explicitly mentioned or implied in the source material. The gate, slightly off the town center, stands at the edge, a reminder of the river that once linked this area to the rest of France, and of life that unfolded around the stone arch far from the Loire's power.
