An old street which used to lead to the windmill built by Jean-Jacques de Mesmes in 1541. This was the path used most frequently by the people of Roissy. The street led them, in the order prescribed by history, to the communal oven, the wine press in the days when there were vines on the village's southern slopes, and finally the windmill.
