Windmills of France - Mock mills

Whilst the mill represented outside this famous Paris nightclub is nothing more than a neon outlined fake, it's so well known that it would be churlish not to give it some recognition on these pages.

Of course, the nightclub also gave rise to the Nicole Kidman film Moulin Rouge - the latest of 6 films with this title.
