Vigne du Clos Montmartre Located on Montmartre at the corner of rue St-Vincent & rue des Saules, this is the most famous vineyard in Paris, one that produces 300 bottles (production 2002: 805 bottles) of wine feted by a wine festival every October. Unfortunately, this is closed to the public throughout the rest of the year. The vineyard opened in 1932. Opposite is Au Lapin Agile and catty-corner to it is Cimetiere St-Vincent where the Montmartois artist, Maurice Utrillo is buried. Here is more information about other vineyards in Paris.

by clairegeordio If you are a fan of the film 'Amelie' then a visit to Paris wouldn't be complete without a visit to the restaurant where Amelie used to work in Montmartre. Most of it has been preserved as to how it was in the film (the copper-topped bar, mustard coloured ceiling, 1950's style decor and neon lamps - so has the unisex toilet) however, the classic cigarette stand has been removed to make space for more tables. A gnome is even on the bar, similar to the one in the film! The cafe had a downbeat funkyness to it. Leave a Comment Phone: 0033 1 42 54 90 50Other Contact: Metro: Blanche. 15, Rue Lepic

A real nightmare going home everyday, isn't it? They couldn't find another name more appropriate for this street than "Rue du Calvaire". At least the locals don't need to go to gym anymore... Just wandering in Montmartre was a real delight because we had the chance to discover funny / interesting places like this one.

As I mentioned before, we didn't plan anything when we've visited Montmartre, that's why our pleasure to discover different places, monuments, historic buildings was bigger. Wandering in Montmartre we found on a street Tristan Tzara's house made by the architect Adolf Loos.

 Moulin de la Galette - Montmartre - r. Lepic by BeatChick, 2 more photos The Moulin de la Galette (or Windmill of the Biscuit) is one of two windmills left in Montmartre. Back in the day they used to have outdoor dances such as that made famous by Renoir's "Bal du Moulin de la Galette" (or "Dancing at the Moulin de la Galette, Montmartre" per the Musée d'Orsay's English Visitor's Guide) and Van Gogh's Le Moulin de la Galette. If you didn't know this windmill was here you'd probably miss it (hidden among the foliage) while trudging uphill on rue Lepic. Directions: Corner of rue Lepic and rue Tholozé in Montmartre at #77, just up the hill on rue Lepic from where Vincent Van Gogh lived with his brother, Theo (54 r. Lepic). Every day except Monday rue Lepic beomes a street market (a little slice of local Montmartois life) - best to come on the weekends.

 Vincent Van Gogh's home in Paris - 54 r. Lepic by BeatChick, 1 more photos I have a terrible need of - dare I say the word? -religion. Then I go out at night to paint the stars... - Vincent van Gogh, Arles, 1888 Before Van Gogh moved to Arles to paint the stars he lived here at 54 rue Lepic in Montmartre with his beloved brother, Theo. It is said that Vincent learned to incorporate bold color in his expressive paintings after his move to Paris. Certainly he moved from a more sombre tone in his works to one filled with color & vibrancy after he lived and worked in Montmartre among fellow artists (Gauguin was a great friend of his before they parted company). Could it have been, too, that he was just happy because he lived in Paris?? :) Photos: April 2003 Leave a Comment

Chapelle du Martyre Well, I HAD to see the spot where supposedly St. Denis was beheaded (martyred by the Romans). According to legend, he then picked up his head, stopped to wash it off at a fountain (Impasse Girardon off rue Girardon) & proceeded north walking about 4 miles before finally succumbing to death, exhaustion, or gravity. Where he fell down is the site of the modern-day Basilique St-Denis just outside of Paris proper. Of course, if you mark his course on a map you'll notice he didn't exactly go in a straight line! Directions: From Metro Abbesses, go east on rue des Abbesses. Rue Yvonne-le-Tac branches off from this street. Continue east 'til just past rue des Martyrs. Photos: April 2003 Leave a Comment

 Pam & Sacra at Montmartre Museum by rexvaughan This small museum is in a house that was home to Renoir when he did his famous 'Bal du Moulin de la Galette' painting. The house was also occupied at various times by Maurice Utrillo, his mother and other artists., but that is probably true of many places in Montmartre. The museum, while not overly impressive, is a very interesting collection of photos, paintings, posters and memorabilia relating to the history and heyday of Montmartre. There are some original works as well. All in all, it is well worth a visit. I am glad our friend Pam introduced us to it. (Note: in the photo my wife has a cast from Grindelwald, Switzerland but that is another story.) Entry is about 5 euro. Closed Mondays. Leave a Comment Other Contact: at: 12 rue Cortot, Montmartre

by shrimp56 On the right one of the street mimes entrancing a young Parisian;) . On the left the sculpture commemorates the work by Marcel Aymé of a man who could pass through walls, until one day he got stuck. The title of the story is "Passe-Muraille", first published in 1943. Leave a Comment
