The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette éolienne de type colonne, construite par Lebert, a été implantée en 1898 pour alimenter en eau le lavoir communal. Elle est associée à un réservoir qui permettait de stocker l'eau et de la redistribuer en l'absence de vent. L'ouvrage est complet et ajoute à l'éolienne Bollée un pavillon supplémentaire permettant de canaliser le vent. L'hélice est fixée à la base de la turbine et, aux balcons de la plateforme, sont indiqués les points cardinaux. La pompe à trois pistons subsiste sous l'abri. Le puits est latéral selon l'implantation la plus générale.

This column-type windmill, built by Lebert, was installed in 1898 to supply water to the communal laundry. It is associated with a reservoir which allowed water to be stored and redistributed in the absence of wind. The structure is complete and adds to the Bollée windmill an additional pavilion allowing the wind to be channelled. The propeller is fixed at the base of the turbine and, at the balconies of the platform, are indicated the cardinal points. The three-piston pump survives under the shelter. The well is lateral according to the most general placement.
