It's one of the most eagerly awaited events in Paris this autumn! The Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre returns from Wednesday, October 11 to Sunday, October 15, 2023, throughout the capital's 18th arrondissement.
With this year's Olympic motto"Faster, higher, stronger - together", this new and 90th edition of the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre promises to be a tasty experience. Those who are used to this festive and convivial event can rest assured that this 2023 edition of the Fête des Vendanges de Mont martre will revive a number of traditions, such as the famous grand parade, the gourmet taste trail and the unusual ceremony of non-proposals.
For the curious, here are 5 not-to-be-missed events to enjoy from October 11 to 15 during the new Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre.
Celebrate the new Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre with music! The Decibels Vendanges festival returns from October 11 to 14 in three venues in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. This year, head to Hasard Ludique, Be-Jazzy and ADN Montmartre to discover songs by Flor Mata, La Coya, Saïkaly, Telegraph, Sun, Louisadonna, Ajar and Victor Mechanick. And as these concerts are free, you'd be wrong to miss out.
Food lovers beware! If wine is the star of the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre, so is gastronomy. On October 13, 14 and 15, 2023, the Parcours du Goût will take place at the foot of the Sacré-Cœur. For three days, this village of flavors will tantalize your taste buds with the presence of some one hundred producers from France and beyond. It's an opportunity to discover their know-how and the quality of their local produce.
The Parcours du Goût (free access) can be found around the Sacré-Coeur, at rue Azaïs, rue Saint-Eleuthère, rue Cardinal Guibert, and on the Parvis du Sacré-Coeur.
Another not-to-be-missed event every year at the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre. Just imagine: more than a hundred wine brotherhoods from France and abroad parade through the streets of Montmartre. This is the convivial and unusual concept of this great parade, to be discovered this year on October 14 from 11.45 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. So, would you like to admire this joyful and popular spectacle? For those interested, please note that the procession will set off from Les Vignes du Clos Montmartre to reach the Mairie du 18e.
The 2023 edition of the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre once again honors this unusual event! The ceremony of non-proposals will take place on Place des Abbesses on October 15 at 10.30am. The concept? The mayor of the 18th arrondissement, Éric Lejoindre, lends himself to the game of non-marriages and engages for eternity some twenty couples who say no to each other!
What would a festive, popular event be without its closing ball? Not much. That's why the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre invites you to the Square Louise Michel on October 15 from 4.30pm for the super ball, hosted again this year by DJ Thierry Lecamp.
