The Lapin Agile & The vineyards of Montmartre

Wineyard & the oldest Montmartre cabaret

Conservatory of French song and an integral part of our heritage, the oldest cabaret in Montmartre owes its name to the painter André Gill, author of the famous rabbit jumping from the pan.

Fog Alley

In the 12th century, on this site stood a farm and a mill known as "des Brouillards". This name comes from the water vapors emanating from the many springs of this small plateau, which in contact with the fresh air formed a coat of mist in the landscape.
