Catalogue Note
Il existait, sur la butte Montmartre à Paris, deux moulins à blé encore en fonctionnement au XIXe siècle, le Blute-fin et le Radet. En 1895, une guinguette avec bal fut ajouté au Blute-fin qui portait désormais le nom de Moulin de la Galette. Atget a photographié l'endroit en 1899 d'après l'angle de la rue Lepic (à gauche) et de la rue Girardon (à droite).
