18th arrondissement
Montmartre
The village on the hill, from the Sacré-Cœur to the vineyard
Explore Greater Paris from the Montmartre district to Saint-Denis. Hidden treasures, local initiatives, alternative places — an authentic experience to savour. Montmartre was a village of windmills and vineyards until painters climbed the hill for cheap rent and long light.
The suggested walk
Start at Abbesses, climb Rue Tholozé past the windmill, loop the vineyard on Rue des Saules, and end facing the city from the parvis.
