Moulin Sourdon, Windmill in Fontvieille, France.

Moulin Sourdon is a windmill in Fontvieille built from local limestone blocks and positioned on a stone platform above the Provencal landscape. Its cylindrical stone structure rises from the countryside, offering clear views across the surrounding terrain.

Moulin Sourdon was built in 1790 as one of four grain mills in Fontvieille. It lost its roof and sails over time, earning the name 'fallen mill'. The 2015 restoration rebuilt the missing parts and returned the mill to working order.

This mill is part of a group of historic mills in Provence that shaped local grain-milling traditions. Visitors can see today how these structures fit into the landscape and what role they played in the region's daily life.

After its 2015 restoration, the mill functions as an observation point with views across the Provencal countryside. The best time to visit is during early morning or late afternoon hours when the light is most favorable for views and photographs.

The aqueduct beneath the mill belongs to the Barbegal complex, a Roman water system of the 1st century AD whose channel runs toward the arches of the Vallée des Arches. Its stone conduits and drops are still visible in the valley, showing how water was carried and used for milling.
