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.

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
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,

- 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?? :)

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.

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
