This Montmartre institution, which is still in business today, opened in the second half of the 19th century. It owes its fame to the singer-songwriter Aristide Bruant, who bought it in 1913 and turned it into a meeting place for artists in the early 20th century (including Pablo Picasso, Max Jacob and Blaise Cendrars).

When referring to the “Moulin de la Galette”, a distinction should be made between, on the one hand, the public dance hall, or open-air dance venue, which was opened in the 19th century by the Debray family (millers) on their own land and was originally known as the “Bal Debray”, and, on the other hand, three mills used for grinding wheat and even pressing grapes. Of the three original mills, only two remain, situated close to one another: the Blute-fin – now located on private property and therefore out of sight – and the Radet, which was moved to sit atop a building that has since become a restaurant, on the corner of Rue Lepic and Rue Girardon.

Created by the actor and artist Jean Marais and unveiled in 1989, this unusual sculpture pays tribute to Marcel Aymé, who lived nearby. This 20th-century writer is the author of the short story “Le passe-muraille”. In it, he tells the story of an office worker, Monsieur Dutilleul, who discovers he has the gift of being able to walk through walls.

The Grande Dame needs no introduction. But do you know how much she weighs?... 10,100 tonnes.

On the edge of Parc Monceau, a museum of Asian art – and more specifically, art from the Far East (China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam) – which has been open to the public since 1898. Free admission.

This museum houses a splendid collection of 18th-century furniture and works of art. It is housed in a mansion built just before the First World War in a neoclassical style inspired by the Petit Trianon in Versailles. It is currently undergoing renovation and will reopen in early 2029.

Opened in 1908 by a dancer and a painter, this Maison Rose welcomed artists from Montmartre throughout the 20th century, including Picasso and Modigliani. The building dates back to the 18th century. It features in the famous American series “Emily in Paris”.

Vines have been growing on the Butte since at least 944. The nuns of Montmartre Abbey planted vines there in the 12th century, and by the 18th century, vines covered three-quarters of the hill before disappearing. It was in the 1930s that they reappeared with the creation of the Clos-Montmartre by the City of Paris and the planting of 20,000 vine plants. The first grape harvest festival was held in 1934. There are currently around thirty different grape varieties.
