Description

The mill still has its roof and wings. Its high, carefully-built circular tower supports the weight of the framework and the mechanism. A door gives access to the first floor, which is occupied by the miller's dwelling. Until the early 19th century, milling was an important activity in the region. Production was destined to supply Bordeaux and the colonies, so mills were frequently built near ports. Their revolving roofs allow the wings to face the wind. By the end of the 19th century, 150 windmills had been built in the Médoc.
