The story

Montmartre Grape Harvest Festival in Paris

Montmartre's October grape harvest festival celebrates the tiny municipal vineyard at Clos Montmartre with a symbolic picking, a costumed neighbourhood parade, and a market of regional wine and food. It reconnects the district's touristic streets with its older identity as a semi-rural hilltop village on the edge of Paris.

Montmartre's Fete des Vendanges marks the annual grape harvest at the Clos Montmartre, the small municipal vineyard planted on the hill in 1933 partly to stop developers building on the plot.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival centres on the Clos Montmartre, a working municipal vineyard planted in 1933 partly to block development, whose annual harvest of a few hundred bottles makes the wine a rare collector's item rather than a commercial product

02

The mystery stays covered

A harvest queen elected earlier in the year presides over official ceremonies alongside wine confreries in traditional dress, and the neighbourhood parade winds through the steep streets around Place du Tertre, a route only possible because of Montmartre's hilltop layout
