Moulin à vent de Langlade, Stone windmill in Langlade, France.

The windmill features a cylindrical stone body supporting a wooden rotating roof with sails designed to capture optimal wind power for grain milling.

Dating from the early 13th century, this mill appears in documents from 1211 as the Cavalier Windmill, serving the local farming community.

The structure represents regional agricultural methods, demonstrating traditional French milling techniques through its internal mechanisms and architectural design.

Located at coordinates 43.802622 and 4.24985, the mill underwent renovations in 2004 to restore its operational capabilities for grain processing.

The mill stands 15 kilometers southwest of Nîmes in an area recognized by Louis XIV in 1696 for wine production.
