Musée des MoulinsSomething different that appeals particularly to the
mechanically minded is Lille's museum devoted to windmills.
Situated on the highway to Roubaix, the Musée des Moulins boasts
two preserved pivoting windmills, which visitors can watch in
operation grinding corn, as well as a museum detailing the history
of windmill technology. Visitors can tour the full facility, or
just one or two of the sites for reduced admission if you're
pressed for time.
