History and Culture

Until the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, a windmill that has since disappeared stood at the Moulin de Tous-Vents.

The Battle of Moulin de Tous Vents began in the vicinity of Gauchy on 19 January 1871; despite being outnumbered, French troops put up prolonged resistance.

The events at the Moulin de Tous-Vents inspired popular couplets that are now part of the folklore of the Saint-Quentin area.
