Moulin De Craca
Moulin de Craca is a windmill in Plouézec, Côtes-d'Armor, France. First working in 1844 it was restored from 1995. It is popular amongst both locals and tourists because of its location on top of a cliff overlooking Port Lazo. Every August the Plouézec-Ballinamore twinning committee organises Noz Ar Vilin Fest Noz around the windmill. There is a selection of Breton music, Breton and Irish music and dancing, as well as local cuisine and drinks. Amongst the specialities are ''Moules-Frites'' (Mussels and chips), ''Crêpes'', ''Galettes'', Breton cider, and Chouchen. After falling into disrepair, the windmill was restored in 1993. It now contains fully operational, working replica machinery.
