Montmartre was a must see for us the first time we visited France and of course we wanted to revisit it. Almost every time we have been in Europe we have visited a winery, so should this time be any different? Turns out one of the last remaining wineries in central Paris Le Clos Montmartre, is hidden within the tangle of streets that comprise this hilltop in Paris. We could combine our love for this district of Paris with our love of viniculture in one long fun day. So climb a flight of stairs with us and enjoy Montmartre.
So I was not kidding when I said that this winery was located in the heart of Paris.
Growing both grapes.
And vegetables in amongst apartment buildings.
The leaf covered hut on the right side is where we did our...
Wine tasting.
Afterward we visited the wineries very own in house Art gallery, which had some very cool items.
Yes, that is a cat on her shoulder.
God, I love cats.

Have you ever made shadow animals? Again, I find this so cool.
These are 3 dimensional carvings framed under glass.
Joani had told me when she booked this wine tour that it contained a small art gallery and admission would be included, I just didn't realize how cool this Gallery would be. It was a hidden gem. As I've said before.. Joani never fails to find the hidden gems of our trips.
When we left the winery we spent the rest of the day souvenir shopping and having savoury crepes. It was a marvelous day in Montmartre.
Top of the world.
