Le Moulin de la Galette

The Moulin de la Galette is recognized by a windmill perched directly above a restaurant building at the corner of rue Lepic and rue Girardon. The site preserves two historic windmills, the Blute-fin, built in sixteen twenty-two, and the Radet, built in seventeen seventeen. In the early nineteenth century, the miller Nicolas-Charles Debray began grinding flour here and baking a popular rye bread called a galette, which eventually gave the location its name.
