Patrimoine de Pays et des Moulins 16th June 2013

It was extremely interesting to see in a private garden in the village Laireau, a wind turbine constructed at the end of the 19th century, invented by one of the members of the Bollée family who had a foundry to make bells. Other family members invented and made machines and vehicles.
There was an exhibition about these in 2012 at the Musée AutoMotoVelo at Châtellerault.
