Moulin de la Galette
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Moulin de la Galette is a windmill situated near the top of the district of Montmartre in Paris, France. The area has been depicted by artists such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Ramon Casas, Vincent van Gogh, and Pablo Picasso. The windmill has been classified as a monument since 1939.
It is also the name of a restaurant situated slightly lower on the hill. This restaurant also has a windmill above it, called the Moulin Radet, after the family which owns both windmills. The restaurant has been portrayed in paintings, most notably that of Renoir.
