A symbolic event that you cannot miss.

From 7th - 11th Oct 2015, the 82th annual Montmartre Grape Harvest Festival returns to Paris. 

The Montmartre Grape Festival dates back to 1934. It was organized by the 18th arrondissement when it was still famous for its role as the wine-maker in Paris. The tradition remains as time passes. 

This year, the theme is "The Vendanges Celebrates the Planet". The celebrations and events will be organized around the topic "ecology and sustainability".
