Review:
The five windmills Moulin de Paillas were built between the 16th and 19th centuries on the hill above the quaint picturesque village of Ramatuelle near Saint Tropez. Today in ruins, only one of them has been renovated and can be visited after a short, pleasant walk up the hill. The village tourist office organizes guided tours of the mill every Tuesday morning. The mills were all decommissioned in the 19th century when new technology made them obsolete. When they were fully operational, they were made completely of wood, with a few parts reinforced by iron. Like typical Provencal mills, Moullins de Paillas had their upper parts mobile in order to pivot to catch the best wind. The view from the windmill of the village, Cavalaire Bay, La Croix Valmer, and Pampelonne Beach is breathtaking.
