The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le pertuis du moulin de Nançay enjambe la rivière du Loing. Il est constitué de deux arches en anses de panier reposant sur une pile en éperon. Il est surmonté d'une chaussée pavée. Sous les arches, des vannes permettaient de réguler le débit de l'eau. Il semble avoir été construit entre la fin du 18e siècle et le début du 19e siècle.

The weir of the mill of Nançay spans the river Loing. It is made up of two basket-handle arches resting on a cutwaters pier. It is surmounted by a paved roadway. Under the arches, sluices allowed the flow of water to be regulated. It appears to have been constructed between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century.
