NOT THE MOULIN ROUGE


A surprise awaits the strolling visitor along the steep pavements of Montmartre.  
It is one of the last two functioning windmills of the thirty that used to provide the flour for the Parisians' daily bread.  This is the Blute-fin moulin (also known as the Moulin de la Galette) built in 1622.

OJ - considering that a windmill that will celebrate its 400th anniversary
        next year was certainly built to last!
