Montmartre Vineyard

If you go to Paris, on your way to Sacre Coeur you will find this astonishing vineyard.

It was planted more than 1000 years ago and it has managed to survive despite of the city development.Exif_JPEG_PICTURE

 

2000 plants of Gamay and Pinot Noir were planted in 1928 to keep the tradition and the production is sold to auction for social purpose. Indeed, with a nonsensed North exposure and a very late harvest (mid october!) it is not very famous for its quality! :S
