| The restored mill and miller's house. |
The best thing (and I do mean the VERY best thing) about France is that on any drive in the country you will stumble upon a charming village, an historic building, or a spectacular landscape that you were completely unprepared for. It happens every time we leave Bordeaux. Before we know it, we’ve turned off the main route and are following a sign that says something like “medieval bridge” or “11th century church”. Or, as in the case of the Moulin de Puy, a small, nondescript sign that simply said “windmill”.
We followed the easily missed arrow up a narrow winding road, never
sure that we were headed in the right direction, until we reached the top of a low
hill. And there, sure enough, was a beautiful little windmill glowing orange in the late afternoon sun.
