Van Gogh –Gemüsegärten auf dem Montmartre

In 1809, a family by the name of Debray, acquired the two windmills–

the Blute-Fin was used for separating bran from flour (in French the

verb bluter means to sift flour) and the Radet was used to crush onions

and spices. Some of these spices –but not the onions, of course –were

used to make perfume.

‘Le Moulin Radet’ (83 Rue Lepic, Montmartre Paris) built in 1717 and

now the site of a charming bistro.
