Moulin de la Fée, Traditional windmill in Saint-Lyphard, France
The windmill features a cylindrical stone base structure topped with a rotating wooden cap and four long blades for catching wind power.
Built as a grain mill, the structure underwent a complete transformation between 2000 and 2011 to generate electricity while maintaining its original appearance.
The windmill represents the evolution of rural French engineering, from traditional grain milling to modern renewable energy production methods.
Visitors can learn about wind energy generation by scheduling guided tours through the local tourism office in Saint-Lyphard.
Michel Mortier spent eleven years converting this traditional windmill into an automatic electricity generator that preserves historical architecture.
