Moulins à vent de Régusse

Two limestone towers measuring six meters in height and diameter stand on a hilltop, featuring conical roofs and adjustable wooden sails.

The Templars introduced these windmills during the 12th and 13th centuries when returning from the Holy Land, producing 52 tons of flour annually by 1811.

One windmill contains a museum displaying traditional agricultural tools while the second maintains its original milling mechanism for flour production demonstrations.

Visitors can park near Grande Rue or the local pétanque court before walking to Rue des Moulins to reach these historical structures.

The mills require six people working for thirty minutes to properly orient their mechanism according to dominant winds like Mistral.
