I think the passengers were rather surprised when Susan and I got all excited and stopped the car by the side of the road when a completely unexpected Éolienne Bollée came into view, but they were polite enough to indulge us long enough to take some photos.
I have started a map showing the locations of the various Éolienne Bollées we have visited and photographed. This will be added to over time, thanks to the stirling work done by the people at Archiving Industry.Simon
PS - this was actually our fifth Éolienne Bollée - I had forgotten the one at Cinq-Mars-le-Pile

I love the delicate little weathervane on the top! Is that part of the standard éolienne, or was it added by an owner? Pauline
Pauline. I think that it was one of the many options. You could have it as ornate as you wanted.
Tim for real this time... have you seen the one at Château de la Bourdaisière... it is a climb the staircase one. 9€s to take a look at it from the tomato plot [where there is a nice noticeboard all about it...] or come over here and look at the pix [same as all the others] and the pic of the notice and save 9€s less the cost of driving over!!
