Moulin de la Galette

Moulin de la Galette Review

Of the 14 windmills (moulins) that used to sit atop this hill, only two remain, known collectively as Moulin de la Galette—the name is taken from the bread that the owners used to produce. The more storied of the two is known as Le Blute-fin. In the late 1800s there was a dance hall on the site, famously painted by Renoir (you can see the painting in the Musée d'Orsay). Unfortunately, the windmill is on private land and can't be visited. Down the street is the other moulin, Le Radet.
