A stone sugar windmill built around 1840 at Capesterre, the first windmill in the French West Indies restored to working condition - now being reborn as a rum, sugar and music heritage site.

Position is the mill (OSM). Listed historic monument; restored 1994 and again recently (tourist office). The 'Belle Île en Sucre' project announced a pre-opening for Terre de Blues in May 2026 and full opening in November 2026 with tours of the mill and restored case, traditional sugar-making, a shop and rum/sugar tasting; tel 06 91 23 23 82 - check status locally, as an older listing says the site was closed. One of the last mills to work after 1945.
