Rue des Saules
Rue des Saules runs down the northern flank of the hill along the Clos Montmartre, the municipal vineyard planted in 1933 on land developers wanted to build on. It produces a few hundred bottles each year, sold for the district's social projects, and hosts the Fête des Vendanges every October.
On the corner with rue Saint-Vincent stands Le Lapin Agile, a cabaret whose pink and green façade has barely changed since Picasso, Apollinaire and Modigliani spent their evenings there. Tip: the view from the top of the street, with rows of vines in the foreground and the roofs of Paris behind, is one of the most surprising in the city.
