I remember on my first visit to Paris, reading that a small vineyard remained in Monmartre — one of the oldest in France. This looks like it.

looks like I’m an hour late and a dollar short, but that small blue placard on the fence? It’s most definitely a Paris street sign…blurred, but unmistakable. So I’ll have to say Monmartre as well.

One of my friend’s recently visited Paris. He tends to agree with everyone on Monmartre. So Monmartre it is!!

Montmartre, without a doubt. I love coming around the corner and seeing that vinyard!

oops.. upon re-reading I see I spelled Sacre Coeur wrong– sorry about that! It is funny, I was wandering around Paris in December, staying in Montmartre, looking for a place to picnic and this is where I sat… probably the same corner the pic was taken on– I instantly noticed the pic from that lovely day.

My best guess is also the vineyard of Montmartre behind the square.

Great stuff! I guess it was too easy! Thanks for the links Daniel and Raphael!
Even if it was easy for many, I still think it is neat that there is a tiny vineyard in Paris proper. It’s great many of you have checked it out too!
