The Moulin de la Galette...
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.
I thought this windmill looked really cute, not knowing, until I arrived home and read up on it, that it was famous...!!

I love the windmill reminds me of a song "The Windmills of my Mind!"
how do you do those collages?
Lucia - oh yes good song :-) It is such a quaint little windmill. Just thought it was a restaurant!
I have a photo of this same windmille too..but didn't know much about it at all when I was looking at it.
I've never seen that before. You'll have to show me around Montmartre next time you're here ;)

Erin - There is so much to read about Paris, and lots and lots to see, so didn't realize.

Casalba - I had never heard of it before...so pleased you enjoyed my photos..What little widgets? take care Anne
I clicked on your French and Italian words of the day widgets and saw they also had some word games. xxx Sally
Casalba - hey you just taught me something, didn't know those little games were there !! Oh no mustn't click to often, could become addictive :-) Anne x x
Anne, did you eat there? It is a great little place and I sat (alone) on the terrace in the back where the windmill is right above your head. Had a great lunch there!!
