The windmills of Montmartre<\/h3>\n<p>Paris used to be full of windmills; sadly, very few remain today. However, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t spot them here. Head to Rue Lepic, where you\u2019ll spot two wooden windmills still standing tall and proud. Constructed in 1717, Le Moulin Radet can be found atop the Le Moulin de la Galette restaurant. The other, the Le Moulin Blute-Fin, was built in 1622 and is now on private property. If you\u2019re lucky, you can spot the windmill in early spring or the winter season. Fun fact: the windmills have been painted by many great artists including Van Gogh, Renoir, and Picasso.<br \/>\n<em>Le Moulin Radet and Le Moulin Blute-Fin, 83 Rue Lepic, 75018 Paris, France<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>2.
