The Lieu-dit des Barres is home to several notable landmarks, including the Moulins des Barres, a group of windmills that date back to the 16th century. These windmills once belonged to the Knights Templar and were used for milling grain.
The Rue des Barres is also located in close proximity to the Rue Saint-Antoine, the Rue Malivaux, and the Hôtel de Ville, the city hall of Paris. These streets and landmarks are all located in the Marais neighborhood, which is known for its rich history and cultural heritage.
In addition to the Moulins des Barres, there are several other windmills located in the vicinity of the Rue des Barres, including those in the Ruelle des Moulins du Temple. These windmills are a testament to the rich history of the area and are an important part of the city's cultural heritage.
