Two More From Disneyland Paris - Weathervane Wednesday

 These two weathervanes were photographed in Fantasyland at Disneyland Paris.

We spotted lots of weathervanes at Disneyland Paris, and these two were located very close to each other in Fantasyland.  The first one is a scrollwork vane located on a clocktower above the Au Chalet de la Marionnette restaurant.  This is a fast food restaurant where families enjoy burgers and hotdogs. Our family had lunch here.  We were unable to get a photo without a bird on this weathervane, because as soon as one bird left, another would alight on the weathervane!  Scroll down to see another view of this weathervane. 

The second weathervane is actually a typical weathercock above the windmill that is now a snack counter, where we paused for a rest and an icecream treat.  If you are familiar with the old "Silly Symphony" short cartoons produced by Disney in the 1930s and 1940s, you will recognize this old windmill from the film "The Old Mill".  This weathercock appears to be copper, with a lovely brown patina.  It is located between the Small World ride and Alice's Curious Labyrinth.  In the 1990s there was a small ferris wheel behind the windmill, but it was removed in 2000.  Scroll down to see a photograph of the Old Mill. 

Last month I featured several more weathervanes from Disneyland Paris - Tinkerbelle, a pirate, several with Aladdin themes, two from the Peter Pan story, and two featuring Mr. Toad!
