Limetz-Villez is a village just over a mile south of Monet's home in Giverny. Monet would often paint the same view at different times of the day or year to show the changing light. He only painted two canvases of the mill, the other one sold at Sotheby's in New York in Nov 2023 which I've posted previously.
