Several, if not many, places in Belgium are called "hoûte s'i ploût" or similar names. That's walloon for "listen if it rains". It's related to the need for water of an old watermill. There are various explanations: passerby's mockery, father asking son ... One of the best known place is here. It looks like the mill should be on the map, but it might be just ruins. (turn on aerial in upper right tab). Anyway, my idea is that you could look at this article (oder das), look at these pictures, open the sites, follow the links like veins or is it streams, hopping down to France or elsewhere, and most of all search for all the spellings. I'm not sure if you would find such nice ones as you've shown, but if your passion is mills, you might like to make that way discoveries that are not in the catalogs. Otherwise, you will have a story. Good luck, Cheers
