The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Les deux moulins à vent de la bastide, dits aussi moulin de Vento, sont inclus dans une ferme modèle du 19e siècle transformée en parc paysager. Ils ont été aménagés en belvédère. De type tour, ils sont sans mécanisme, et ont probablement servi de moulins à farine.

The two windmills of the bastide, also called moulin de Vento, are included within a model farm of the 19th century transformed into a landscape park. They have been fitted out as a belvedere. Tower type, they have no mechanism, and probably served as flour mills.
