    A Hidden Vineyard in the Heart of Paris: Clos Montmartre.

    A Hidden Vineyard in the Heart of Paris: the Clos Montmartre Explore Clos Montmartre, one of Paris’s best-kept secrets—a working vineyard tucked away in the charming streets of Montmartre. On this exclusive tour, Laurence Debart-Johner takes you through a place rarely open to the public. Learn how this vineyard survived urban development due to the work of a cartoonist, Francisco Poulbot.  Clos Montmartre continues to this day, making wine with grape varieties you won’t find anywhere else—some even banned for commercial production. You'll also hear about Vincent, the devoted gardener (angel?) who tends the vines and preserves this slice of Parisian heritage. Going to Pairs and want to book one of those special tours?
