Fodor's 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 comes from the fact that the owners once sold rye bread—the more storied is known as Le Blute-fin: it's on a leafy hillock across from 88 rue Lepic. 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. Just down the street is the other moulin, Le Radet, perched atop a well-regarded restaurant (called Le Moulin de la Galette) at 83 rue Lepic.
