The Pointe-Claire Windmill (French: Moulin à vent de Pointe-Claire) is a windmill in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada. It is the oldest windmill on the island of Montreal and one of 18 remaining windmills in Quebec.
Like most mills in New France it was built to a French design, a cylindrical stone tower with a movable roof which could be turned by a tail pole to face the sails to the wind. The mill had two doors, to provide an exit regardless of which ways the sails faced. The walls are four French feet (1m32) thick at the base. The interior is 12 French feet in diameter by 24 high.The mill originally contained elevated platforms beneath gun slits for defence. The surrounding shoreline was fenced with pointed wooden stakes. However, the site was never attacked.

~~La côte Nord qui s’étire de la Pointe du Van à la Pointe du Millier, offre une succession d’éperons, les oiseaux marins en font leurs univers, une partie de cet espace constitue la Réserve du Cap Sizun.
Elle contribue à leur assurer les conditions nécessaires à la préservation de leurs habitats.
~~En guise d'oiseaux marins juste un petit Rouge-gorge, un goéland, et un autre passereau !!
