	At the end of XV century, ruined by wars « Les Dames de Paris », were forced to sell their land. Wine-growers and ploughmans took place on the mound and and cultivated the vineyards (le Sacalie, La Goutte d’Or, Clos Berthaud, la Sauvageonne, la Vigne de Bel Air). In 1516, burgesses switch over to offensive to reduce a number of taverns.
In the capital Wine taxes were imposed on business owners in Paris. Therefore, patrons fled to the hills where they frequented road houses and cabarets which flourished yearly.
In 1929, the painter Francisque Poulbot and some friends saved a municipal ground from property developers planting some vine plants. In 1933, three thousand seedling of Thomery and three seedling of Morgon were planted. The « Grape-Harvest’s Party » was celebrated for the first time the following year. It is still celebrated today. Many important people are invited including stars, delegations and «Les Chevaliers du Taste-Vin » (the knights of Wine Tasting) from different french provinces. Everybody comes to celebrate « Le Clos Montmartre » ; today the only real vineyard in Paris). All profits from the sale of this wine goes to help local charities.
