Fête de la coquille Saint-Jacques à Montmartre 2025

 

This past weekend I went to the Fête de la coquille Saint-Jacques à Montmartre , always held next to Metro Abbesses.

Two days in a row! An absolute first time for me.

On Sunday, after painting blue & yellows all week, I took a break at Montmartre annual Fete de la Coquille St.Jacques festival at Abbesses. No, I did not climb up 144 metro steps. Instead I got off at Pigalle and climbed up the big hill.

Yes, I ate oysters.

And a bowl of soupe  de poisson (2,50€) as always/comme d’habitude.

No, I did not have any Kouign Amann this time

Yes, when I see vanilla anything, I have to try it

Yes, the little train is still running!👏👏

So sunny 🌞 on Sunday, 

So many Parisians out and about

The cafes were busy

Are Montmartre cafes cuter? Or is it the altitude that makes you think so.. 

This is the first time I saw a doggie carriage. 

Les Primeurs (fruit & veg stands) have extra special displays in Montmartre - berry boxes stacked on bottles!? 

I kept seeing blue + yellow in the windows, on streetwear, on Christophe RousselMacarons…is it me?

I painted more blue n’ yellows in  case you missed out first round. 50% goes to WHO (until March 31). 🌻Happy Printemps dear PBers🌻
