For 5 days this weekend you can drink 🍷 yourself silly
You can still run up there today
We took the funicular up to the top
Saving ourselves for the food walk
I got some delicious black olives 🫒 from
Nyons, renown for their olive oil.
The melted cheese sandwiches 🥪
Are you into saucisse/sausages & fromages
You will be in heaven. That kid had a big chunk 🧀 in his mouth.
Plenty of generous tastings.
One of our gang eating on Sacre Coeur steps
Like an Ingres Odalisque. I see everything as a painting 🖼️
These spinach tartes looked so tempting…
I wished I hadn’t eaten that foie gras sandwich and saved myself for the moules.
I went to the fête in 2014, but I still don’t know how to pace myself 🤷♀️
They do have actual vineyards 🍇 in Montmartre producing bottled wine 🍷

The Montmartre weekend celebrations include parades and naming a queen 👸 for the harvest.
Carol. How much fun and delish my mouth is watering ♥️barbara
ReplyDeleteI was there one evening in early Septembre for the fourth time in my life. Hadn't visited in over 30 years, tho, and was disappointed not to seee scores of artists on the streets. That's how I always pictured it.
ReplyDeleteThe artistes 🧑🎨 are always clustered at PLACE DE TERTRE 🎨 at the very top of Montmartre.
DeleteI would have been tempted to buy olives and some delicious cheese. Great photos as always Carol. Thanks for taking us along. Looks like a lot of fun. -Suzanne P.
ReplyDeleteWe were lucky to go on Friday when the crowds are manageable.
DeleteSunday is overwhelming
Merci Carol for a wonderful post
ReplyDeleteI would have been so tempted to try everything!!!
And the Tomme Ail Des Ours 🐻I would have bought for sure !!!!
Next time I will def try it
DeleteI know nothing about TOMME AIL DES OURS.
La tomme à l'ail des ours est un fromage à pâte pressée non cuite, le plus souvent élaboré à partir de lait de vache (ou de brebis), dans lequel sont incorporées des éclats de feuilles d'ail des ours frais.
I really want some of that Tomme right now. Your posts make me so hungry- so glad they don't have calories or I would be an elephant.
ReplyDeleteSo many choices - it’s difficult to make decisions ! There is always something delicious you missed out on.
DeleteI credit you with getting us to our first Montmartre fête, it was Breton. We ate our weight in huîtres & kouign amann! You are so great at sussing out fêtes, Carol!
ReplyDeleteThe Montmartre vineyard is very small; across from Lapin Agile. Good thing they have wines from all over France or there wouldn’t be much! Glad you had a fun day with your gang!
Love your Sacre Coeur watercolor❣️
Thanks for the exact location..I forgot.
DeleteThey changed the food route this time instead of going down the hill, it was very twisty-turny 🍷 still plenty to sample
I saw that vineyard when I first visited and wondered what the wine would taste like. Inquiring minds want to know!! Love your painting and loved seeing the fun you got up to with Dee Ann last week!!!
ReplyDeleteThe wine 🍷 produced is famously awful from hearsay. Please correct me if I am wrong.
DeleteI was working at the vendange some fourty years ago picking grapes, in Beaune.
ReplyDeleteI got to pick grapes 🍇 in Alsace for a couple of hours- I was very happy when lunch rolled around 👍
DeleteI remember getting so drunk there back in the old days that I had to keep talking to my feet and say “Feet, get me home.” MM
ReplyDeleteJust one word needed :yum
