The 'Vignes du Clos Montmartre' is considered the last operational vineyard in Paris proper. Before it became the iconic haven for artists and musicians in more recent history, Montmartre was primarily known for its religious history, including a large abbey and as the location for the martyrdom of Saint Denis. The area was quite rural, being outside of Paris proper until 1860, and was filled with vineyards, windmills, farms, and quarries for gypsum mines. This tiny, quaint vineyard gives a sense of this earlier history of the Montmartre area.
