Built in 1717, the windmill is now part of a restaurant of the same name, and is easily visible from the street.
The Moulin de la Galette is a windmill and associated businesses situated near the top of the district of Montmartre in Paris. The windmill was built in 1622. In the 19th century, the Debray family who were the owners and millers made a brown bread galette, which became popular and was adopted as the name of the windmill and its businesses, which have included a famous guinguette and restaurant. In the 19th century, Le Moulin de la Galette represented diversion for Parisians seeking entertainment, a glass of wine and bread made from flour ground by the windmill. Artists such as Renoir, van Gogh, Ramón Casas and Pissarro have immortalized Le Moulin de la Galette, probably the most famous example being Renoir's festive painting, Bal du moulin de la Galette.

Dalida was a chanteuse and actrice who sold 170 million albums and singles worldwide. The bust faces the attractive Rue de l'Abreuvoir. The breast area of her bronze bust has a bleached colour possibly due attention given by overly enthusiastic admirers.
Villa Léandre is a short residential street where the houses have small front gardens giving the street an English look.
Montmartre has a small vineyard which can be seen through a chain-linked fence. One of its products (vin Clos Montmartre) can be purchased at the nearby Musée de Montmartre.
A fantastic and undeservedly little-known collection of the great surrealist artist's often overlooked sculptural works. Those travellers seeking a more authentic experience should be warned that the majority of works here are reproductions, and that this "museum" is more appropriately considered as a for-profit, tourist-oriented homage to the artist rather than a carefully curated collection of original work. To find it, head up to Sacré Cœur and stand facing it and take a left. Keep your eye out for small Dali signs.
