The town of Isle sur la Sorgue has an industrial past and thanks to paddle wheels, many factories were established in Isle sur la Sorgue.
Flour mills, silk mills, blanket factories.
And some wheels supplied the gardens of wealthy landowners with their buckets.
The blades are used to project water and turn the wheel. They become covered in moss throughout the year and are then cleaned once a year.
