    Moulin de la Chaise is a former windmill located on the Mont Gareau, a quartz promontory that overlooks the Rance estuary in Saint-Suliac, a commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department of Brittany, France. The mill has been modified in the 20th century with decorative battlements that give it a castle-like appearance. The mill is no longer in operation and has lost its conical roof and machinery. According to a legend, the Mont Gareau is the tomb of Gargantua, a giant from French folklore.

      On Mont Garrot, south of Saint-Suliac, you will find the tomb of Gargantua - but in any event, 73 meters above sea level, there is a fantastic view over the valley of the Rance. From the Moulin de la Chaise, a mighty windmill that once stood here, only a remnant has been preserved, which today presents itself as a kind of defense tower near the highest point of Mont Garrot.
