A family drawing has the wrong name. Before a Pigalle printmaker opens his exhibition, Ronald, Tony, Karen and Harly follow a trail through Montmartre’s windmill history. The picture has more to reveal than anyone expected.

Behind the adventure

An original fictional adventure set around Pigalle and Montmartre. Luc, Odette, Jeanne, Henri, the family drawing, its inscription and the exhibition are invented. The historical scenes are imagined, and the route and architecture are simplified. Dialogue is presented in English for readers.

The Moulin Rouge opened in 1889. Montmartre once had numerous working windmills; the Radet and Blute-fin survive, and the Moulin de la Galette is associated with the neighbourhood’s dance-hall history. The comic’s drawings are original, rather than reproductions of historic artworks. Paris tourism: cultural sites north of Pigalle.
