Le Clos Montmartre or the Vineyard of Montmartre is a hidden gem located not far from the Sacre Coeur in Montmartre. The Vineyard is owned by the City of Paris and was created as part of an attempt to protect a section of Montmartre from real estate developers. The Vineyard is celebrated each year in a grape harvest festival (called La Fete des Vendanges), which attracts about 500,000 people annually. Its location on a sloping plot means that it can be seen from adjacent streets, along with the city landscape. Amazingly, the small plot, of only 0.15 hectares produces 27 varieties of wine and about 1700 bottles of wine
