Property name

Location
Clos de l'Ecluse off Mont Les Vaux. This private road is named after a lockon the stream which once drove the wheel of a watermill, known as Moulin d'Egoutte Pluye.

The mill pond was in the meadow bordering Mont Les Vaux, and has been cut in two by the construction of the road in 1865.
