I’m taking you on a virtual tour of Montmartre in Paris, home to the Moulin Rouge and the Sacre Couer. As you walk through the cobblestone streets, you can almost hear the voices of the many artists who called this place home. It’s like stepping into the past, and once it draws you in, you don’t want to leave.

There are so many things to see and do, some well-known, some not so much. For example, did you know there is a vineyard in Montmartre called Clos Montmartre Vineyard? It’s one of only ten remaining vineyards in Paris.

And what about Rocher de la Sorcières, aka Witchs Rock? Nobody knows where it came from, but it’s said to have evil powers.

But its biggest drawcard is its Bohemian artistic history and the fact it was home to artists such as Van Gogh, Picasso and Renoir, to name but a few. I’ll be digging into the legends and stories behind the village on the hill and taking you through the streets of Montmartre.

There are many things I love about living in France, one of which is enjoying the French Apéro.

It embodies so much of what the French are famous for, as it perfectly represents the ability to enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

The French culture fascinates me. They have an excellent attitude towards life, especially here in rural France.

They work to live rather than live to work. They take the time to see what’s around them, spend time with their family, and embrace the good things in life.

So let’s dive in and discover all there is to know about that fantastic pastime known as the French Apéro and the history of one of the most famous drinks in France, Pastis.
