At left is a photo of the Water Mill in France where Louis Gasnier (1612-1661)
lived and worked for several years before emigrating to New France in 1644.
The photo at the right shows the coach house.
The property is now a working farm.
These two digital photos were taken by Father Gagnier on October 11, 1999.

The Water-Mill of Guemancais is situated at the boundary of St. Cosme-en-Vairais Commune (Sarthe) in France, located near the Department Road D-301, leading to Bonnetable.
The date is uncertain but this mill would have been built in the 15th or 16th century.
Louis Gasnier (1612-1661), had first used it together with his father, then by himself until his departure for New France in 1644.
